Monday-- Taking a Look at the Week Ahead

    I was sitting here thinking about planning out the meals for the week ahead. It's been quite some time since I last planned out meals. It used to be a regular thing where I would plan out two weeks worth of meals, do the shopping for said meals, and that would be that. When I felt like I was getting in a funk with dinners, I'd look in my notebook full of recipes and check out lots of cookbooks from the library. I've since started watching Food Network, Rachael Ray, and such. I like going into the kitchen at five o'clock armed not with a recipe, but simply with an idea-- an idea of what I want to include in the dinner. So when I sat down to try and do some planning, I decided to do it a little different. I've decided to simply map out what to use each day, instead of recipes to use.

What do you do when it comes to dinner planning? Or is there any planning at all?
