(This feels like forever ago. That's my little guy half his lifetime ago in our Fort Irwin house)
Do you menu plan?
The thought of having to come up with meals randomly from items I purchased at the grocery store half hazardly is terrifying.... crippling... Awful. Get my point? On the other hand, being locked in to a plan and having to cook things that sound gross that particular day has no appeal for me either. I tried using cute pro tables that have daily, weekly, or monthly menu plans that look like calendars. My husband got frustrated with the fact that I never made what was scheduled for each day.
Having said that, I hope to consistently post my menu plan, in the format that works for us, each Monday. I pick and choose based on what activities we have going that day (ie. crockpot dinners on days we are super busy) or whatever I really am hungry for. ;-)
