This is not a post about meal planning. It's a post about not meal planning.
Despite my good intentions and a chalkboard clearly labeled "MENU", I have purged my meal-planning diet and fallen into a nasty "what the heeeelll is in this here kitchen?" habit at meal times.
Then that stupid Pinterest website shows me all these nifty things I could try and since it's nearly winter where the sun sets at 2pm, what else am I going to do?
Here's my proposed trials for the next couple weeks:
The Shrinking Kitchen has menu plans (with included shopping lists- wha?!- for free). They have meals with ingredients I actually like to eat, too, not some over-fattening, cream cheese-based-everything casserole-glop. Gingery Pork Lettuce Wraps? OKAY. Plus, I love her writing.
A Turtle's Life for Me did a great piece on how she cooks for the entire summer in one afternoon. Who doesn't want to do that? She breaks down her timeline and makes it sound über-easy. I won't have to cook again for THREE MONTHS, you guys.
Do you guys plan your meals? What are some favorite recipes? Ever try the freezer-prep method? Tell me!
I didn't know my blog had been rated by an unknown force. Hey, this is worth $1390? SOLD!
