I'm a big planner and list maker. There's something exciting about it. I think I like making the actual menu and grocery lists more than making the actual meal. One way I keep my family organized is by making a weekly dinner menu. I usually make them during the weekend, do my shopping on Sunday and then I'm all set for the week. My goal is to not have to go back to the grocery store until the following week, but with kids that's kind of hard since we're forever running out of milk and juice, even when I stock up. Normally we only go out to eat maybe 1 time during the week so that leaves me to cook at least 5-6 times a week. The hubs also has a sensitive stomach, so I can't make any cheesy or fried foods. Also, big pre-made meals in the frozen food section (such as lasagna's) are a big no-no in our house. I keep a dry erase board on the side of my fridge so it's easy to look at to see what meat to lay out each night. If I don't have a set menu I find myself scrambling and making 'not so great' dinners. Happy meal planning!
