Plan weekly meal menus on Sunday

I really need to work on this goal: it would make my life so much simpler, I think! Tomorrow is Sunday, and I’m GOING to plan the meals. I’m posting this here so that I don’t forget.

...to efficiently and cost effectively plan family meals.

I have to go shopping today because I ran out of food =^(. but I will definetly start this on Sunday.

I want to use ecofriendly cleaning products

I keep adding food-related goals! First, I wanted to bring my lunch to work, preferably a healthy, home-cooked lunch. Then, I realized I would have to cook more to make that work. So I decided I would cook a big meal on Sundays so that I could have leftovers. Well…I am not doing well at that goal, and part of it is the grocery factor…I tend to not have the right things on hand to try a new recipe, but I do tend to have produce that is about to go bad and I have to use up in some slip-shod way. Anyway…what if I planned my meals – my lunches for work and my dinners – on Sunday morning, went shopping ONCE for the whole week, and then voila! Sounds like an idea to me. Eventually, I’ll get all my food goals straight!

This is one of the best things my family has ever decided to do. You know what to buy when shopping (keeps the ingredients fresh), and helps you organize yourself for the week (we need a quick meal on Tuesday because Johnny has baseball and Suzy has piano). I recommend this goal to anyone and everyone out there.

not gonna be able to do this till i have a place and am more settled…..maybe in the fall i’ll start trying to do this.

i soooooo have not been doing this. have been eating out wayyy too much. today is my boyfriend’s last final and then we’ll both be able to concentrate more on being healthy. hopefully will plan tonight and get back on track.

i planned tonights meal last night, and i wanna do the rest of the week tonight :) i’m making this really good looking recipe of chicken in white rice and campbells cream of chicken soup with vegetables and cheddar cheese on top of the chicken….found it in a magazine, hopefully it’ll turn out—this is my first time cooking in months!! :)

I finally have gotten into a regular habit of menu-planning, and it is so helpful! Definitely worth doing!
