Last week I went to a presentation by Liz Edmunds (aka the Food Nanny); which really inspired me–about dinner! She advocates making a 2 week plan (Ali, I thought you’d like that with your 2 week shopping trips.) To make making that plan easier, Liz suggests setting a theme for each night of the week. I love this idea, I think it will help with my dinner problem–falling into a rut and rotating a handful of recipes. Here is my little meal plan to fill out. I bought her cookbook because I am always interested in easy recipes. I have done weekly menus for a while and one little trick I’ve learned is to just save those menus in a file to look back through when I get stumped. I’ll let you know how it goes next week. I plan on doing some tweeking as I go; but I figured I’d share–anything to make dinner easier, right?

Sweet, I got a shout out!! Your meal plan looks yummy!
I plan meals for two weeks, however, I don’t assign a meal a specific night because depending on what happens that day, where I spent the afternoon, kind of effects my timing plan. But, I keep a list in my cupboard of what “meals” I have so that I don’t forget (which has been known to happen!)
Not to mention, on my list you’ll see things like pancakes, baked potatoes and other easy schmeasy (aka lazy) dinner ideas to help on those slow days. I wish I could have gone with you.
I loved it too! I’ve read the cookbook from cover to cover. Now on to the cooking (and eating) of course. You must try her crescent rolls. They are the best rolls I’ve ever had. Or made for that matter.
Awesome! Mmmm… food…
Great idea…do you ever have a leftover night?
