QOTW 5: Meal Planning

Posted by Ami-chan on April 18, 2007

Do you have a weekly meal plan? How do you plan for your family dinners?

I do not have a weekly meal plan. We do eat a lot of the same meals quite a bit, because I get a lot of fish: cajun catfish, salmon pinwheels and things from Publix because they do their fish prep a lot better than I can. I fall into patterns of making the same foods, but it’s not really intentional, and our schedule varies so much from week to week because of the way my husband’s shifts work and the munchkin not being able to eat some of the things I prepare for us (like the fish) so right now there’s no real family meals. Often I will feed him first and then after I put him to bed I’ll eat and my husband will reheat his food when he comes home at 5 a.m. Lunch is the only meal we eat together regularly and that’s getting hard now that the munchkin can climb out of what we used to use as his “highchair” so it’s unsafe.

As a side note, which I forgot to put in the previous post, I have several other memes and also some comments I need to catch up on and answer, which I will do starting next week. The main ones I remember of these right now were from Cecile and Drew, I’m sure there are others though.
The rest of the week is taken up with doctor’s appointments and house work because Saturday is the munchkin’s birthday party and Sunday is his baptism. I’m doubting I’ll get any real computer time until potentially Monday night.
