Meal Planning… Like a REAL wife!

By Candy November 3rd, 2008

So I’ve finally, after many many years, got my stuff together and am starting to plan our meals. Right now I started simple and just typed up meal ideas in a Microsoft Word calendar and put it on the fridge. I’m hoping in the future to get more detailed in my lists, including lunch & maybe even breakfast. But I have to start small when it comes to something so monumental like this. So here is my menu for the month of November:

Nov-3: Goulosh (SP?)
Nov-4: Chicken, Broccoli, Rice & Cheese Casserole
Nov-5: Boca Burgers & steamed veggies
Nov-6: Leftover night!
Nov-7: Lean Cuisine Pizza

Nov-10: Chicken & Rice crockpot meal
Nov-11: Tator Tot Casserole
Nov-12: Turkey Chili & Cornbread
Nov-13: Leftover night!
Nov-14: Lean Cuisine Pizza

Nov-17: Grilled Chicken Sandwiches
Nov-18: BBQ Polish Sausages w/Mac ‘n Cheese
Nov-19: Lasagna
Nov-20: Leftover night!
Nov-21: Lean Cuisine Pizza

Nov-24: BLT Sandwiches
Nov-25: Meatloaf & Sauteed onions & potatoes
Nov-26: Baked Potato Soup
Nov-27: THANKSGIVING LUNCH & DINNER!
Nov-28: LEFTOVER THANKSGIVING FOOD!!

So, I tried my best not to use the same meal more than once in the entire month. It was hard because I tend to stick to easy stuff that I KNOW how to make. I hate that I’m like that, but sometimes I get overwhelmed. Plus, it is a LOT cheaper to cook things that I have ingredients on hand for. The goulosh we had for supper was yumtastic. I made Fiber One Apple Cinnamon muffins (A double batch) for dessert and for our breakfasts for the next couple weeks.

So do you meal plan? If so, got any meals to recommend?
