Themed Meals!
That's what my wife and I do to reduce the burden that is meal-planning!
It helps with budgeting as well!
Monday: Pasta (Spaghetti, Stroganoff, etc)
Tuesday: Mexican/Hispanic (Tacos, Burritos, Fajitas, etc)
Wednesday: TBD
Thursday: Asian (Rice dishes, Curry, Tofu, Noodles)
Friday: BBQ (Sloppy Joes, Hamburgers, etc)
Saturday: Breakfast (French Toast, Pancakes, German Pancakes, etc)
Sunday: Dinner with family, Pot Roast, or other.
We've gone back and forth on what Wednesday should be.
Leftovers? Too much uncertainty of having any leftovers.
Salads? Typically used as a side!
Sandwiches? That's what we have for lunch if not leftovers.
I proposed Euro dishes. But that has some overlap with our current categories.
I also proposed an Experiment night, but that defeats the purpose of reducing the need to meal-plan.
What ideas do you have that don't fit or overlap with any of the other themes?
Happy to be back out there!
1moThis is an incredible way to look at a cluster of meals! 🇱🇷
