Summers are the WORST for me as far as meal-planning goes. My poor family. I'll hit my groove again in the fall with soups and bread and hot casseroles and meat and potatoes in the crockpot. I miss my crockpot.
But summertime? Aack. I hardly know what to make. It's hot and I don't want the oven on. Especially when I've spent the morning canning and my kitchen is already sticky with heat. If it were just me, we'd just eat a salad every night. But my children can only handle so many salads. As I write this, I feel certain I've typed this exact same paragraph in a blog post before. My apologies.
In an effort to get back into the discipline of meal-planning, I sat down to create a plan.
The tools: recipe binders, computer (for new recipes I've bookmarked), Sharpies, a master grocery list, and my meal list to post on the fridge.

Why do I always forget that it's really as simple as formulating a plan and getting the necessary ingredients? Then, with the plan in place, the thinking part of the work has already been done for me and I can easily tackle the to-do portion of it.
So. We're back at it. Handy little list-on-the-fridge-that-I-appreciate.
