But my husband makes pasta sauce on Sundays and we either go out or have pizza (lately, homemade!) on Fridays, so that takes care of two more days. Leftovers cover the sixth. And since I work from 4-7 on Saturday, it's a 'find what you can make yourself' night. (This works because the youngest person here is almost 18.) But even the nights I have planned ahead are not carved in stone. I have no qualms about calling my husband and telling him to bring home deli meat and rolls. I have been known to brown up ground beef meant for spaghetti and throw it back in the freezer if we can't eat it within a day or two.<BR/>The menu planning thing just means one less thing to think about each day, but I sure don't let it run my life, LOL!<BR/>Oh, and I love couponing--it's kind of like a hobby that pays me back. I wish there were 32846865 of them in my sunday paper, LOL!Mom2furhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15364896.post-12672250651005191352008-05-07T11:18:00.000-07:002008-05-07T11:18:00.000-07:00I'm with you I can't plan a certain meal for a cer...I'm with you I can't plan a certain meal for a certain day. I have a list of meals that I maintain a list of meals that I have the ingredients for. Then during the day I can look at my list and figure out what I feel like making, what I have time to make, or maybe I'm just craving something on the list. Works like a charm. Some days I don't feel like cooking so I look at my list and pick the meal that requires the least amount of preparation. I have no desire to be tied to a particular meal on a certain day.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04829551559747295619noreply@blogger.com
