Menu Planning.

One of the many tough decisions I face on a daily basis is what to eat for dinner. I know it sounds trivial.. but it's not.

What usually happens is that I will think about what to cook and not think up anything new and exciting and so at the very last minute... when the bile begins to rise in my throat.. I'll run out and get some crappy fast food. Not crappy.. in that it tastes crappy.. but crappy in that more than likely it was deep fried in lard and soooooooo not good for you.

So I've been attempting to make a weekly menu plan. I like to cook, but have been tired of the usual fares in my home. Been trying to experiment, but can't go too far off the deep end. The husband only truly likes rice and chicken... and yes in that order. Boooorrrrriiinnngggg!! He tries to appease me by giving in every now and then... the other day he did try my sweet potato fries (or bakes.. as they were baked)... but of course we had to make a small pot of white rice for him as usual. If he eats lasagna for dinner, he wants rice with it.. so that's a drag.

Anyhow, meal planning is very time consuming... but worth it, in that I don't have to wonder what to make.. because it's already been planned!
