Suddenly my whole routine got disrupted and so did my ability to prepare suppers. I get home after 6 pm and the last thing I want to do is to cook supper. At first my sweet husband would pick up fast food suppers for us on the way from his work. But this was not going to fit into our budget nor into the eat healthier plan. Then my dear friend bought me a book called Once-a-Month Cooking by Mimi Wilson and Mary Beth Lagerborg. This book is awesome. Not only they give you plans, recipes, the whole shopping lists, but also details such as how many freezer baggies of what size you will need. The idea is you shop and cook once a month (or every two weeks, which ever you prefer). I love it. I use it with my own recipes, but they have lots of great recipes worth trying. So one Saturday I cook like crazy and then each morning I take out of the freezer what we will have for supper. I come home in the evening, warm up the food, enjoy the aromas which are same as if I was cooking all day, and then when my husband comes home we are able to sit together after a long day at work, and enjoy a good home made meal together.

I have been trying (sometimes unsuccessfully) to plan meals by the week. I would eventually love to be organized enough to have a monthly meal plan. ~Nicole http://www.5paiges.blogspot.com Great plan!

I like it! Once we did a full on menu, week 1, week 2, and switched, but it got old, quick. I like this pick and choose idea. But YES! Planning the meals is the hardest part! That's the longest part of our shopping list is meal-planning, ugh! Aha, so THIS is what you were talking about! I like it!
