As those that regularly meal-plan know, it's a way of life. A strategy for cooking more, wasting less, eating healthfully, and saving money, meal-planning is also much easier to do if one possesses the right kitchen equipment, cookbooks, and containers. If someone you know is an avid meal planner, consider giving them (or gifting yourself) one of these practical finds.
