I love to cook and making the food isn’t the issue with preparing meals for my family, but it’s the deciding that gets me sometimes. I usually sit down on Monday morning and plan out our dinner meals for the week, since I’m a notorious over-spender at the grocery store and if I don’t have a plan and a list, things can get away out of control. So meal planning works for me, as long as I can actually get around to deciding on what to put on the menus. I like to use Pinterest to save food ideas and almost always pull up my food board when I’m menu planning. Just recently I took a cue from Shanna and created a board to save things that I’ve actually made, and I really like having the “EAT” and the “EATEN” ideas separated now. And now I feel all incentivised to try new things just so I can move them to the “EATEN” board, hehe.
This week’s dinners::
Monday – Blackened salmon burgers, Morroccan chickpea salad, kale salad
Tuesday – Waffles, eggs (ayla’s birthday supper because she loves waffles, hehe)

What about you:: what’s on your dinner menus this week?
I’d love to hear your thoughts!
I’m so with you! It’s amazing how that incentive of moving boards gets me motivated, too!
