I don't know when this crazy obsession for meal planning started, but one thing I do know is that it has worked for us the past ten years and it's about time I share my tips and tricks!


First things first, it’s all about the planning! I take my “menu ideas” list {the link is found on the sidebar to your right}, and plan out my entire month in advance on our calendar in the kitchen. What works best for us is the following:


Sundays = a nice meal

Mondays = chicken

Tuesdays = soup/pasta

Wednesdays = beef

Thursdays = fish

Fridays = Date Nights {i.e. no cooking}!

Saturdays = misc

This way we rotate meals so we aren’t stuck in a rut. I then take my “grocery list” {the link is found on the sidebar to your right} and make my shopping list for the next 2 weeks. Remember, initially this takes more time in the beginning, but then your entire month is planned and you won’t have to figure out what’s for dinner plus I promise it saves money on your grocery bill!

Beef Stroganoff


















Beef Stroganoff


1 lb hamburger or steak

2 cans cream of chicken

2 tbls worchestershire sauce

1 cup sour cream

salt and pepper


Cook hamburger and drain juice. Add cream of chicken, worchestershire sauce, and salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes stirring frequently. Add sour cream and cook for about a minute.


We serve this with whatever we have on hand. I lean towards rice, but most people like noodles. I happened to have some leftover salad and fresh homemade bread this day.
