I don't want to spend their childhood deciding what's for dinner.
With four kids under six, I didn't need more options. I needed fewer decisions.
Meal planning used to mean starting over every Sunday. Now I keep two lists of dinners we already eat, and grocery shopping starts with a list instead of a blank page.
We still get variety. I'm just not reinventing it every week.
What's inside
Fall & winter menu
The cozy half of the year on the back of the same page: soups, chilis, casseroles and bread on the side. Flip it when the season turns.
Checkboxes, not a calendar
Check dinners off as you eat them. At the bottom of the list, start again at the top.
Focus on what matters
Grocery shopping starts with a list instead of a blank page, so the mental load of dinner stops taking up your week.
