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!

Appetizers
This is self explanatory. We both pick out an appetizer that we want, then we decide on one together - 3 different kinds. I usually try and serve it with a salad.
