Meal Planning Thread

When I occasionally asked DH what he fancied I used to get 'whatever you want to get rid of out of the fridge' LOL.

I use big oven. It has a calendar where I can add my recipes or notes where I type. I add ahead when I see recipes I want to try and add ingredients to my shopping list as I go. DH also had the app so can cook ahead of me if he gets home first or do the grocery shopping, which he normally does.

I like the idea of a whiteboard and have often contemplated painting our pantry door in black board paint.

LOL,You get I dont know, I get "surprise me"!!

I get 'whatever'.

[Itsnotartitsdinner]

I get whatever too Cookie. Or something I don't feel like :0

[astarra]

I get "I don't want to think about it" or "whatever."

I get blank stares and then they walk away. DS is the only one who gives suggestions then it's the same everytime - chicken schnitzel and beef stroganoff. We make our beef stroganoff from an old WW recipe and it uses eye fillet so is a "special" meal but he trys for it every week.

I fly by the seat of my pants here, not worth menu planning for 1.

  Love it Judy - haven't heard that saying for ages.

I'm starting to plan & have incorporated one night per week to be a meal from the freezer/pantry.

[Halex]

I normally menu plan but atm I am using up bits and pieces so just pulling things out of every where and making meals, plus using freezer meals.
