In an effort to be more organized and have these habits down before Deedle arrives, I have decided to make a meal plan. I love to cook - I find it relaxing. I really do like to make dinner - even now that I don't enjoy a glass of wine while cooking.
My biggest downfall is that I fail to plan well for dinners. I regularly shop up to 3 times a week. I would run and get what we would need to dinner when we needed it. Here lately, I stopped going to the grocery more than once a week - the result was we ate out A LOT.
I have seen many bloggers with menus posted on Mondays and so I am joining. I have noticed that when I say I am going to do something in writing that others can read - I hold myself more accountable. I did plan as I shopped on Sunday, so for my first week...
Monday : roast turkey - rosemary potatoes - broccoli
Tuesday - veggie chili
Wednesday - bbq Chicken - green beans- baked sweet potatoes
Thursday - spaghetti - chili or italian (left over sauce) - spinach salad
Friday - pizzas - traditional or bbq chicken
Saturday - beef & noodles - broccoli
Sunday - shopping day - tacos?
Even writing this down - I made changes as went. I also need to write this before I go shopping. I didn't buy the spinach for dinner - I bought it for my lunch. In writing the plan, I didn't buy enough veggies. In my defense, I have been trying to buy less veggies because we have trouble using them up.
I believe (know) we will be eating out at least once this week - if we don't we will have tacos - only after I go to the store and get the items for them.
Next Pre-Deedle attack will be on our bedroom. It needs major help.

I so need to start doing this!! My trips to the grocery store are so pointless without me planning actual meals.
Do you have any video of that? I'd love to find out more details.
