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!

Talapia

Just like our Salmon, we buy our Talapia in bulk at Costco or Sams Club because it is individually wrapped, you can pull out as many as you want, and there aren’t any bones to deal with! If you haven’t tried Talapia or aren’t a huge fan of fish, it isn’t very fishy and we think it is great!





















Talapia


2 - 4 pieces of Talapia

Mrs Dash (original)

Lowrys Garlic Salt

Butter


Start warming your frying pan on medium heat. Add a little slab of butter. When the butter is melted, add your fish. Sprinkle the fish with the Mrs Dash and garlic salt. I always cook mine until it starts falling apart when I turn it. But it usually takes about 10 minutes.


We serve this dish with whatever vegetable we have on hand. We also serve rice or some kind of potato.

I don't like the fishy taste and Ryan had me try catfish and I loved it. I still have to try talapia but I'm sure it is so good.
