I am terrible at planning dinners in advance. Usually around 3 pm each afternoon I realize that I have no idea what I am going to make for dinner. Once I finally get an idea of what to cook, I realize that I don't usually have the ingredients to make the chosen dinner. I could wake up the sleeping baby (sometimes baby& toddler), drag the troops to the grocery store to get the needed supplies, then get home and make dinner OR I could make frozen pizza or have Paul pick up dinner (and then put it our own plates so it qualifies as dinner at home).
Just recently, I found an amazing website that has menus planned. LOTS of menus. No crazy menus that my kids would never touch. Not super complex dinners that would spend hours on every day.
