  1. I do some freezer cooking which helps with the planning. For example, one weekend I will 10 quart size batches of chili. I just make a big big pot full and however many bags it fills it fills. Then the next weekend I make stew etc. In the meal plans I can plan chili with cooked potato. Or stew with grill cheese sandwich. Another thing to do: instead of just cooking for two (like in our house) we cook triple or at least extra. And some left overs go into the fridge while others to the freezer for a meal later. — For people who are having a hard time starting: write down a list of all the meals you and family frequently eat (i.e. chili, hot dogs, grilled chicken) don't worry about the list being 'common' in that you always eat those foods. Then randomly add those meals to calendar days and make list of new meals to try and add those in between. Then come up with a side or two for the meals listed.

    Here's a tip about type of meal. We like a "BBQ meal" but there are at least five different types of BBQ meals (i.e. roasted hot dogs with chips and melon or baked BBQ chicken with potato salad) so each category can have many different meals.

  2. Thanks Jenny for your comment! This is a GREAT idea to write down all of the family's favorite meals. Then to do a big pot of "whatever you are making" and then fill bags – much easier to store. Thank you for sharing your ideas and I hope that you continue to as well :).
