Also, we live about a mile from a grocery store, so it's easy to pop out and get something if I've forgotten it or don't have something planned, or have my husband stop in on his way home.

I like to think I did my share of dinner cooking, but they'll probably remember it as Dad did all of it!

This week I was sick, so it was basic/easy cooking. The most difficult part of writing those menus is to please everyone - boyfriend and I loooooove vegetables, onions and mushrooms for example, my daughters hate them - except green saladAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-71198338939692753842015-10-31T20:18:34.164-05:002015-10-31T20:18:34.164-05:00I'm impressed with your meal planning.

Now I shop once a month at Costco, filling up my cart for the month.

If I were a bake, I'd do that. <br /><br />Your menu looks yummy. I don't do a lot of menu planning but when I do, I pick meal but when I actually cook depends on my schedule. I like leftovers but I live alone so I need recipes that are for 2-4 people. I have a cookbook where the recipes are designed for 1-2 people and I love it.

I try to build in a little flexibility... pick a certain number of dishes and not assign a night, leave one night open for leftovers or going out or something I always have on hand. Soup is a given - I make it at least once a week to have on hand for lunches. And most weeks I like to try a new recipe. <br /><br />When the girls were JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-25890792077847081122015-10-31T13:15:58.928-05:002015-10-31T13:15:58.928-05:00Yum, a delicious menu for the week!

Especially with me. I had soccer all the time(even in winter), plus I did other sports. So there wasn't a lot of sit down meals. <br />I go to my best friends house every Sunday for Sunday dinner.
