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!

Fish Tacos



















16 fish sticks

1 tbls olive oil

1/4 tsp ground cumin

1/8 tsp garlic powder

3 tbls Mayo

1 tsp lime juice

1 1/2 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix

flour or corn tortillas

Salsa or pico de gallo

Follow baking directions on the package for the fish sticks. Brush one side of fish sticks with olive oil, cumin and garlic powder mixture and place in oven. Once fish is halfway through baking, turn fish and coat other side with mixture.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl stir together mayo and lime juice. Add cabbage; toss to coat. To serve, spoon some of the coleslaw mixture into each taco shell; add fish slices and top with salsa.

We serve this with rice and / or beans.
