My Genius Idea

I hate meal planning. I'm not sure why I hate it so much--maybe because I miss dairy-rich comfort foods or maybe because it reminds me of being pregnant and the misery of having to prepare 20 meals a week while exhausted and while everything just sounds gross. Bottom line: I always drag my feet when it gets to be that time of the week.

So anyway, I had this genius idea a while back to start a rotating menu. Just make a long-term meal plan (for a month or more), and then use it over and over again. Voila! No more meal planning. :) So I finally got around to making it, and yesterday was my first day on the rotating menu plan. We'll see how it goes.

I also had the idea to make a shopping list template for each week on the rotating menu plan, and then it saves me from having to do that each week too. Now if only I didn't have to go to the grocery store... ;)
