Food Stuff

I feel like I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about, preparing, cooking, and cleaning up meals and snacks for these two crazy boys, David, and myself (although I'm about as picky as a scrapyard dog). I actually enjoy the cooking part, and don't really even mind the cleaning part so much, it's the planning part that always drives me crazy. I need to plan ahead, because flying by the seat of my pants has not worked well in the past, and it actually ends up causing me more stress, but I really procrastinate when it comes to writing out a meal plan. So, I decided a couple of days ago to just sit down and make myself plan out dinners (my biggest challenge) for the rest of February and all of March. It actually went pretty well! We may change things here and there, depending on what's on sale at the grocery store or whether we prefer to eat something else one night, but I'm finding that it gives me a huge peace of mind just to have something planned for each day.
