Jenni, what I’ve done to plan meals is to first designate each day as a theme. For instance:
Sunday – Casseroles
Monday – Beef
Tuesday – Non-meat
Wednesday – Chicken
Thursday – Pork/Seafood
Friday – Pizza
Saturday – Crockpot
Then I start a list with those categories and add meals we like as I think of them or eat them. There will be crossover. For instance, Chicken Broccoli Casserole can go on the casserole list and the chicken list. Once you get a decent list of favorites, you can begin planning your meals. You could even plan a month this way. It’s really not hard, just takes a bit of time.
Keep a master list of recipes and add to it as you find recipes you like.
Blessings! Kim
Great idea!
