Easy Breezy Week of Planned Meals

I read an organizational tip that I believe to be a WONDERFUL idea since the inevitable question gets asked and answered the exact same way...."What do y'all want to eat tonight," and the answer, "I don't know."

The idea was to get  7 baskets and label them Sunday through Saturday. Take the ingredients and recipe/book and put it in the basket. Do all 7 of them at the beginning of your week and you won't have to ask the redundant question that yields the same useless answer. Also, this helps you to keep your grocery list trimmed and you will not waste any food since you are using it all during that week. If you are running late to cook, the family (if willing) can easily get the recipe and follow the directions to get the meal started for you.

I found some clear Steralite containers at Target for $1 and just put note cards in them with the day written on them. Stack them in your pantry and voila....hassle free food planning the night of.

Enjoy!
