Hello fellow meal planners - welcome back and happy Monday! I certainly hope that your meal planning efforts are working out better than mine . . .I'm not even sure you could call this a rut - it's like I fell off the wagon into a ditch. But I am trying to dust myself off and get back on the weekly meal planning horse. My sanity needs the return to routine, as well as my wallet.
It's funny, that you always think meal planning will get easier . . .when my kids are older, when my child eats more than four things, when it's not so cold or hot or rainy . . .you know what I've come to realize? Just like with so many other things in this life, there is no perfect time. Just stop shoulding all over yourself and take a step towards your goal.
Plan just ONE meal for the week ahead . . .or two, and do any shopping you need. Write down those two meals in your planner or on your calendar. In two weeks or so, repeat them. WOW - that's 4 meals planned for the month already! Baby steps will get you there . . .trust the process.
So, following my own advice, I'm taking some baby steps. My freezer is BURSTING with "should makes" so I need to get started. Here's what we have planned for this week:
Monday - Surprise Lacrosse practice, so I picked up a Rotisserie Chicken and sides.
Tuesday - Taco Tuesday with Guacamole and Corn
Wednesday - Muffin Tin Meatloaves, Buttered Noodles with Parsley and Broccoli
Thursday - Trader Joe's Dumplings and Vegetables with Rice
Friday - Pizza Night
Saturday - Family Dinner Out
Sunday -Dinner with Mimi and Pop-Pop
