This is one of my BIGGEST problems. I am the worst meal planner and me and my family suffer for it. I LOVE the white board idea. Here are a couple of things that help me... 1. I sat down and made a list of 20 basic meals that I could make quickly and easily. I try to keep those ingredients on hand. I figure that 20 meals should cover about a month if you factor in leftovers and the occasional meal out. 2. I designated certain nights for certain types of meals for example. Monday is Pasta night, Tuesday is Mexican Food night, Wednesday is quick foods like soup and sandwiches because we usually have an activity that night, etc.... I am glad you are back to blogging! Oh Jenn…I love you.
