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!

Stir Fry


I cheat when it comes to stir fry. I buy this huge bag of vegetables at Costco to save me time! Plus we really like it! I have seen bags you can buy at the grocery store too.























2-3 cooked chicken breasts, cubed

1/3 bag stir fry veggies

1/2 bottle of Kikkoman stir fry sauce


Add all ingredients to a large frying pan. Cook until vegetables are at a desired tenderness. Serve over noodles and rice.


We prefer to serve it over noodles with an egg roll.
