Simplifying chores: Meal planning together

While we are really good at fast and simple dinner prep we also just rely on looking in the frig and freezer for ingredients each morning to plan dinner. Since that results in us buying the same basics week after week, we eat the same dinners a lot.

I suggested we chat on Monday to plan 6 main dishes before shopping on Tuesday. We each had to suggest at least one do I didn’t feel like it was my job each day to come up with an idea.

This week’s trial run includes leftovers as we like them for easy repeat dinners or lunch leftovers. Side dishes will be mood based. It did also make for a shorter grocery list this week.

  • Garlicky shrimp and broccoli
  • Beef stew x2
  • Turkey meatloaf x2
  • Bob’s Red Mill soup mix vegetable soup x2

  1. I really like planning my meals. I do so for a month and that gives me a bit of leeway if I want to change them up a bit.

    God bless.

Deer - 5 vs Us - 4 but at least there are flowers

  Apparently just ready to open Agapanthus flowers are a deer munchie! Last year we only had one flower sprout so this is still a win.
