Starting at planning menus - Any advice? (sopuli.xyz)

I'm looking to have tasty and balanced food while maintaining a reasonable budget and being more organised.
I know how to cook. I already have tasty yet not complicated meals I'm use to make but I never needed to be organised about it before.

So I decided to start to write menu in advance, do a some meal prepping probably a bit of batch cooking.
I found resources online to start following a plan but maybe you have advices for the beginner that I am.

Thank you!

I see. I was thinking, maybe I could plan two weeks of meals and rotate them. Then, I would need to change this plan 4 times a year to keep with seasonal ingredients. But I felt overwhelm by the idea of finding so many recipe. But actually, I could do whatever the season :

  • Monday rice
  • Tuesday tradional meal
  • Wesnesday pasta
  • Thursday exotic cuisine
  • Friday potatoes

It would be easy to narrow traditional recipe to seasonal ingredients now. Wow... It seems so easy now.
