So, with the dawning of a new year I decided that there had to be something better. I read on a friends blog about 'The Food Nanny.' She sets up theme nights to help with more effective meal planning and has some tasty and easy recipes in her book. I decided to buy it and wasn't disappointed. Since then I know what we're going to have each night. This is how I set it up:
Sunday - Crock pot
Monday - Chicken
Tuesday - Italian
Wednesday - Fish/Meatless
Thursday - Mexican
Friday - Pizza
Saturday - Beef
I've been doing it for 5 weeks now, and still haven't used a single repeat recipe. Yes, I am a little proud of myself!

Way to go! A weekly menu is key for me. I used to go to the store every day too, and we ate out WAY too much. I like that you are doing a theme night...that makes the menu planning even easier. perfect!
Great idea. If anyone needs help in the kitchen it is me!
Wow, that's great. I also hate deciding what to make for dinner. Rozanne & I used to lament about it all the time. I miss the days when I used to make a plan for the week. I need to do that again. It was really helpful and helped us eat out way less often.
Nadia,
you don't give us repeat meals when we come. i only have had black bean soup once each year,cinnamon rolls, Etc But your a great cook.
lots of love Dad
I wondered about this book! I am glad you like it. I struggle with coming up with dinners as well. I feel like it is especially hard with the little ones because some days I can't even get dinner made if I want to. I used to do a schedule and now I miss it. I will have to look into doing this book, thanks for the tip!
She is coming to do a fireside here next saturday, I'm really excited now I read your post!
Yeah! I am glad that you like the food Nanny! I love her simple plan!
Thanks for the good idea. I always get good inspiration from your blog! I think I might try the themes for the day.
