Every once in a while I'll splurge and go through my cookbook for something fun - but I always make sure I can use the ingredients in something else!Saskiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01755939813142593233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-32102541600745020282010-02-25T20:39:50.043-08:002010-02-25T20:39:50.043-08:00What a great blog!

As for the meal planning, I have a very similar system- though I tend to start getting tired of recipes too fast so I'm always looking for new recipes to swap in. Could you share some of yours? I was especially interested in these 4-<br />Chicken Packets<br />Italian Pastry Bake<br />Ranch Chicken<br />Chicken Divan <br /><br />Some of my other favorites are homemade chicken pineapple pizza, ginger chicken, greek turkey burgers, black bean tacos, cranberry basalmic pork tenderloin, and ham and cheese cassarole.Jon and Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16137071131831589885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-36476721510689394752010-02-25T13:12:08.228-08:002010-02-25T13:12:08.228-08:00This (meal planning) is something I've just st...This (meal planning) is something I've just started doing; I'm in my 4th week of it and while it has really simplified everything and saved money, it's hard coming up with that weekly list! I'm still building my list of favorites though and trying out recipes I've collected over the years but never tried. I'm learning to take into account what food I have on hand while making the week's list so I get it used up. My food waste has dropped dramatically.Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06961949757283263982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-78228877482137726202010-02-25T10:17:02.831-08:002010-02-25T10:17:02.831-08:00This is perfect--my husband and I have recently do...This is perfect--my husband and I have recently done something kind of similar--we have "themes" for certain nights. Asian, Italian, Mexican, casseroles, etc. That way when we buy groceries, if we do buy ingredients that are more specific to one type of cooking, they get used up before they go bad (like a jar of spaghetti sauce). Making a list of foods we like to fill in on the "theme" would be so helpful though. It seems like when I sit down to plan the week, I can never remember what we actually eat.<br /><br />Thanks for this blog guys--the ideas are so practical!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01011761213835905304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-44137307875075063692010-02-25T06:37:00.727-08:002010-02-25T06:37:00.727-08:00Menu planning is such a good idea, and one that I ...Menu planning is such a good idea, and one that I have completely gotten away from doing. Must start again. <br /><br />You wouldn't be willing to post any of your recipes, would you? It is nice to get recipes that "real" people have made and actually enjoy eating.Packrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986387347283221427noreply@blogger.com
