I am totally fickle with my menu strategy. I'll come up with an elaborate idea and even write it all out on my calendar and make shopping lists and everything. Then I usually give it up and start a new plan before the week is out. I'm horrible! So, of course I have a new strategy I am implementing right now. In an effort to face my weaknesses and work with them, it's a loose program. I've instituted theme nights as follows: Monday is breakfast for dinner, Tuesday is a rice dish, Wednesday is soup, Thursday is Mexican, Friday is pizza (my favorite!), Saturday is a pasta dish, Sunday is meat. I like the chance to look at a schedule when my mind goes blank, but I also feel like I can do something else if there's something I really want to make/eat.
By the way, I got two suggestions for new recipes to try: naan bread and curry. I'm going to make them tonight and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the input! Keep it coming...
Another side note: my husband was out of town yesterday. It was just a one day trip, over-night, and he's back in town (but at work) now. I'm such a baby about it. I couldn't bring myself to make real dinner, so we had pancakes and smoothies. I had just a smoothie. It was surprisingly filling. Why don't I do that more often? Oh, right, I love to eat.
