Thanks for this great piece and for the link to simple mom’s site for more menu planning ideas.
It had just come up as an idea for my partner and myself for a few reasons and I have also just blogged about it - thanks for the inspiration…

Ya know..I’ve never really tried that…batch cooking. But I do want to know what’s for dinner way ahead of time. I ask my g/f what we’re having for dinner (what she’d like) every morning. Lol. Sometimes she says, “dinner?? It’s barely breakfast!” I know…but I just want to be prepared later….

I like what you said about eating more fruits and vegetables in the summer. My wife and I are the same way. We have a small garden in our backyard and there is nothing like a fresh salad made from things growing in the backyard. Last night we walked to the backyard and picked fresh lettuce, radishes, carrots, and green peppers.

My wife and I made omelets one Saturday morning from onions and green peppers growing in our garden. There was a small amount of green peppers left. It was not enough to keep (if it was a store bought green pepper I would’ve thrown it out) but I kept it because that small amount of green pepper had more value to me simply becuase I grew it. Anyway, enough of my ranting.

Garden Veggies Rock,

Oh, and I have to say going to the meal prep places like Super Suppers and Let’s Dish are worth every penny to me. I just might have to stock up before school starts.

I just made a menu planner last night. Brilliant minds think alike.

What a great topic for our month of preparation! It’s something that I’ve just been meaning to get to but haven’t (maybe it’s the three little kids who are mysteriously demanding my attention all day!). Thanks for the little push, and I’ll hope to have something to share on Friday (we’re still on vacation and I haven’t managed to post nearly so much as I’d like to
best,

I’ve been planning meals almost since my daughter was born; flylady was my inspiration. It became essential when I went back to work; you simply can’t stand in front of the fridge wondering “what’s for dinner” with a hungry baby, toddler - or school-ager!

I try to cook and eat what’s in season, and I aim to try a new recipe every week, but I fall down on that goal pretty often, sad to say!
