I go through phases of planning and winging it, but you're absolutely right about making that 4:00-5:00pm time go more smoothly. If I know what I'm making, the stress isn't there!Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529749426074359749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223574843325201892.post-555365345794089222008-04-29T10:11:00.000-07:002008-04-29T10:11:00.000-07:00I plan our weekly meals each Sunday afternoon.

It's an easy way to try new things -- my 10-year-old son now eats Salmon and enjoys a broccoli and bow tie pasta dish.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811497957904760857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223574843325201892.post-51339332742867017522008-04-28T13:54:00.000-07:002008-04-28T13:54:00.000-07:00I've found I love planning on this great pad of pa...I've found I love planning on this great pad of paper I found on etsy: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10163061<BR/>It's perforated between the menu and shopping list and makes it easy to rip off the list and stick it in your purse while your menu plan stays on the fridge.darbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456276935746617958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223574843325201892.post-65212800951203044892008-04-28T11:46:00.000-07:002008-04-28T11:46:00.000-07:00I can't say enough about how much this helps me ge...I can't say enough about how much this helps me get through the week! Eliminating that stress of deciding what to do for dinner when I get home from work is crucial.
