Menu Planning Made Easy

Wow, I am relieved! Mr. Dreamy and I had a talk last week about streamlining our family menu. We were inspired by Elizabeth’s menu and here is what we came up with:

• Sunday-Pasta
• Monday-”Granny Meal” (Meat/Sides/Rolls/etc., basically comfort food)
• Tuesday-Tacos/Mexican
• Wednesday-Chicken
• Thursday-Soup & Bread
• Friday-Cheese Pizza
• Saturday- Sandwiches or something special (when Mom & Dad want to cook together)

We’ve only been in this one week and I’m already loving it. Simple, simple, simple.  It’s not the actual cooking that stresses me out, it’s the planning of the meal that is so difficult. It’s such a relief to know that we are having pizza for sure, so I just need to get the dough started. Easy! The pizza recipe we use is from America’s Test Kitchen cookbook. (The recipe can only be viewed if you register, sorry!, or try a google search).

Thank you Elizabeth for the great tip and we are so happy to be a little bit less stressed in the coming months!
