Meal planning is a chore for me. I get stuck at what to make for dinner every week. I decided to make a list of the meals we like to eat. I put it in an excel spreadsheet with a tab for each type of food. I list the meals in a column so I can alphabetize and add to the list when I make something new. The idea is to have an Italian, Mexican, American, Crockpot and Casserole type meal each week. I got this idea from Cookie2.
Please share your meal and organzing ideas!
