Junie Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I have a freezer now, so meal planning *should* become easier. It's hard to plan when you can't store enough of the right foods. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I plan day to day. Occasionally I plan for the next day. Works for me. I have tried the weekly plans and the monthly plans. Those didn’t work for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of little ducklings Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 None of the Kia dealers are willing to list the cost of an oil change on their website. Or the cost of anything other than cars, basically. I'm pretty sure the cost of inspection is state-mandated, but since I also need an oil change and should probably* get a car wash, and the car wash is probably free at some of the places around here with either the oil change or the inspection... and plenty of places around here have $20 oil change specials... I don't know that the dealer is that cheap (I always thought dealers were expensive for maintenance... if they aren't, they might want to post their prices on their website). *As in, last time our car was washed was in spring. :leaving: I think they are, typically. But since we bought the van there, we got free oil changes for the first 2 years. Now, they send a coupon around the time we are due for one. It ends up being the same as the local mechanics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of little ducklings Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I plan breakfasts (which I cook). There is a rotation that covers each day of the week. I plan lunches (which the kids cook). Again, every monday is the same, every Tuesday is the same.... Dinner, I suck at. There's a plan, but half the time I don't keep it. The other half of the time I hand it off to my poor dh. No one has starved to death, so if it ain't broke then I'm not fixing it. #isaidsuck 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJVW Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I pick four or five lunches and dinners, add the ingredients to the online shopping app and jot them down on the back of my calendar. I cross them off as I make them. I also get 90% of my meal ideas off Pinterest. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I sat behind an important diplomat tonight at a fancy schmancy concert. Ds3 didn't poop in his pull-up, and Dd5 didn't proclaim "Finally! It's OVER!" after the final piece like she did last year. I count that as a successful Brush With Greatness. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken, make enough for Jean. She's going to come over tomorrow too. I love Indian food, too. There used to be a delicious Indian restaurant in the Big City. But it closed down a while back. I used to think all Indian food was just curry, but this stuff was amazing. It’s like every dish they would bring out was better than the last. I never ordered off the menu. I’d just ask the waiter what was good. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Yes, our Thanksgiving was good this year, thanks. It was quite relaxing, even though I did all the cooking. I had a basic menu, actually was in a good mood, and the food reflected it. Last year, there was so much chaos and I was hating my life, and the food reflected that. Everyone did their darndest to make sure I was happy this time around, I think. No, I did not ketchup. No, I will not do so. Good night. Gotta 4:30am class. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) Good morning! I was hoping to sleep late but dh keeps texting me from the Boy Scout breakfast. My kids eat the salad, I just don't get the awesomeness points like I do for garlic toast.My kids eat salad, but in an attempt to appease the mother, will sometimes just stuff a handful of plain greens from the bowl directly into their mouth and call it all good. :glare: ðŸ I have no meals to prepare today - late breakfast is at the Boy Scout thing and dinner is on the road to the Sewanee (University of the South) Lessons and Carols service which we were, by some miracle, able to get super awesome seats to this year. Tickets are free, but you have about 30 seconds after the registration opens to get your request in before they are all out. Coffee!

Susan in TN Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) In an attempt to maintain my sanity, we have a fairly regular meal routine. Dh makes breakfast most mornings, which M-Sun are: oatmeal, eggs, yogurt/granola, eggs, eggs, pancakes or waffles or cereal, eggs/pastries. Lunches M-Sun are: leftovers or loaded nachos, mac&cheese or ramen, sandwiches, hot dogs, soup or sweet potatoes, leftovers or sandwiches, loaded baked potatoes or bread/jam/fruit/vegetables. Dinners go through a 4 week rotation - I have most of the meals or necessary ingredients stocked up in the pantry or deep freeze to last mid-August through December: M - soup (tomato or potato or cream of broccoli) or chili T - "picnic" dinner (croissants or muffins, fruit, hb eggs, cheese, etc) W - tacos (de carnitas, beef & bean, fish) or gyros Th - lo mein or salmon w/rice or West African Plasus w/rice or chicken crack wraps F - bbq sandwiches or Italian subs or shepherd's pie or pot pie Sa - spaghetti or ravioli bake or corn casserole w/ham or Polish kielbasa w/sauerkraut Su - pizza (usually French bread pizza or frozen, ocassionally Little Caesars) or turkey club sandwiches Dinner sides are usually a green salad with bottled dressing and a bag of microwave-steamed vegetables. Dinner selections generally change each semester depending on what we want more of and what I find new to try.

Last year we took some along to Thanksgiving dinner as something a little different for people to try, and one SIL kept hinting heavily that she wanted us to do it again this year.

Or when you can't fit enough of the right foods into your shopping cart. One of my SILs shops nearly every day because all of the teens in the house keep eating everything up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
