I mentioned yesterday that I have attempted to start planning meals.
Good grief...it was not easy.
I planned for a little over a week. From this past Sunday to next Monday. We leave on Tuesday for Orlando.
I originally got out a few cookbooks, but began to get overwhelmed. Gordon Ramsey's idea of "easy meals" is not the same as mine. I resorted solely to my trusty Betty Crocker Cookbook (thanks, Lisa). I didn't want to try too many new things in one week. I also didn't want to do anything very difficult.
I ended up with two crockpot meals, two salads, and a couple standard chicken things that we eat all the time.
Lunches are mainly leftovers from the night before or fancy grilled cheese (by fancy, I mean more than one cheese...so maybe fancy isn't the right word) and soup (from a can people...I'm no professional chef yet).
It took me over an hour just to plan it and make a grocery list.
I don't think it will take that long every week. At least, I hope not!
So far, it's been great.
Now, if I can only get a handle on couponing...
