I suck at meal planning. I might just use yours from now on. Can we have quiche next week? And maybe mexican crepes :)

Mexican pancakes? But what are they?

Sure...

not so much traditional mexican, more like tacos, but thrown into crepes instead of taco shells :) family fun food :)

We had a similar set-up at a Japanese friend's house one time - she made a platter of sushi ingredients (rice, various sushimi or smoked salmon, cucumber, avocado, pickled ginger etc) which we composed into little squares of seaweed (the normal-sized seaweed cut into quarters).

yummy :)

C. has just suggested that we try planning meals for a week. Nice of him to volunteer - I reckon it's cos he read this post =)

Also, I especially like your plan for Sunday! I keep meaning to schedule some fun activities...

Meal planning is fun.
And yes, you can concentrate on a single aspect (health, finances, flavours) and learn or challenge heaps about your own habits and preferences.

Our current system is something along the lines of "I buy repeat items plus whatever's on the shopping list (mostly things that have or are about to run out, but a few items J's added for specific recipes in the next day or two), plus some 'random protein' if I get around to it," then J cooks meals that can be prepared from what we have at home, or we supplement home cooked rice+vegies with takeaway. It mostly works :)

Icecream time!
