I've been mocked in the past for my, ahem, tendency to plan ahead. for road trips, shopping trips, sunday mornings, dinner and the like. it works for me, keeps life simpler in so many ways. I would dread dinner time and grocery shopping otherwise. Oh how I fear those busy weeknights when it's 5:30, I've forgotten 3 crucial things at the grocery store, viable dinner components are still in the freezer and I'm surrounded by 3 tired/hungry/cranky guys that want to eat rightthisminute. If I plan ahead, I can avoid that. usually.
so, for Kelly, who is looking for ideas this week:
sunday: braised tri-tip with roasted vegetables, pumpkin cake
monday: leftover tri-tip with brown rice, steamed veggies
tuesday: black bean soup, homemade bread, green salad
wednesday: leftovers
thursday: mac-n-cheese, fruit (just the kiddos and me this night)
friday: take-out
saturday: chicken tacos
these words from my three-year-old make it all worthwhile: "thank you for the delicious dinner, mommy. you're a good cooker!"

I totally believe in planning dinners. I don't know how you would cook for a family just dreaming things up at 5:30! Maybe I'm just not that creative or that good of a cook.
