So we are trying to make some changes in our home. Just little things here and there to lengthen our lives or lengthen our stride or... well that's all the lengthens I can think of. Anyway one of our goals is to eat better and to stresss less about meals. And I am hoping to accomplish that via the Food Nanny. A really perky lady (she has a show on PBS or one of those channels) that would drive me crazy in real life. But her cookbook/concept is making me happy in the kitchen. She suggests having every night be a theme night. Like mexican, italian, etc. Then you plan your menu around that theme and do all your shopping for two weeks. I have tried things like this before.. menu planning or occasional theme nights and I love it when I do it, but I don't follow through, but we've got a system and its happening.
It's nice to know what we are having for dinner and then we can't convince the other that we should just grab a bite to eat. Plus I can do easy meals on the nights I have YW always. So far we are loving it, and I think it will save us money as I plan out two weeks and think what ingredients can I use meal to meal.
- Monday - Mexican
- Tuesday - Italian
- Wednesday - Meatless / Fish
- Thursday - Date Night :)
- Friday - Grill /Soup
- Saturday - Pizza
- Sunday - Family Traditions
