[quote=CDMA ENG]Actually I am impressed that you guys can do that but doesn’t that a get boring? To know what you are eating two weeks in advance?

We do “rough” meal planning. Some nights are given – we typically have a costco take out pizza on Fridays… my husband grew up with Pizza fridays – so we’ve continued that tradition. We typically do more involved cooking on weekends, since we’re home. So we’ll plan what big meals will get done that weekend. Then we buy the basics that can be used in a variety of ways the rest of the week – hamburger, chicken, pasta…. and wing it. No predetermined meal plan – just whoever gets home first looks in the fridge, and starts cooking.
But weekends are when we do the big prep meals – stews, paella, lasagna… anything that takes a long time to prep/cook. And we make enough for leftovers during the week.
