Dilemma for menu planning

I truly enjoyed having my menu planned out for us last week. It simplified the shopping, it simplified the preparation and it eliminated the stress.

DS2 particularly enjoys having that menu card posted on the fridge for the week and knowing what is to come. DS1 just wants food and lots of it LOL

This week poses a bit of a scheduling problem as DS1 begins working out with his trainer this week. It's a must if he wants to have a chance of moving up a level in his hockey. The problem is that his sessions begin at 5 PM and two nights a week he goes straight from there to hockey. There has to be something ready that is premade or sitting in our friend, the crockpot. Time is of the essence for us in that regard.

I'd better go curl up and figure out what I can feed the children that is time efficient, edible and not fast food.

Menu Planning is a lifesaver for me too.. definitely makes my week run much smoother! The thing for me now is that i'm making everyone else dinner, then figuring out what I can eat within my elimination diet. *sigh* Can't win 'em all! ;)

Where would we be without our microwaves slow cookers, and freezers ? with these modern day gadgets we can produce a meal at the drop of a hat. I find myself on a Thursday night going through my recipe books and family favourites before I do my Grocery shop on the weekend and then I know I have all the ingredients for the weeks meals.
