* an outline of the week can be helpful in planning. For example, Monday is a pasta dish, Tuesday is a chicken dish, Wednesday is a Mexican dish and so on. It makes it easier to fill in the blanks with a fresh, inspiring recipe. Keep in mind, Friday usually is an order out dish. ;)
* THE list & shopping: (see my list below) I live by my list. I write it all down from beginning to end. It is a project, but by doing this I make just ONE trip to the grocery store all week. {Not even a quick stop for milk.} Hopefully, it frees up my time to do other things, like wash (!)
* finding inspiration..I love the little magazine Everyday Food by Martha Stewart. It is published monthly. Online, I also search the archives of Everyday Food and Martha Stewart herself. The recipes are easy, interesting, and family friendly. A new blog I adore is Dinner, A Love Story. It is filled with food and recipes, but most importantly, with a sweet family.
