In this planner, I take a "start where you are" approach. I'll help you build running lists of what you've got on hand and what your favourite meals are, as well as encourage you to do a weekly check in on what needs to be used up before it goes bad.
I don't provide any menus, as I have always found that other people's plans do not work for my life. What I do provide is space for you to build lists so that you don't have to remember what you enjoy eating. I don't know why that is so hard, but for some of us, it is. And then we get stuck in ruts.
How to prevent that 4:30 pm panicky feeling...
This approach moves the hard part of decision making to your down time, reducing the weekly "planning" task to choosing from a list of options... Options you selected in the first place, not idealized menus that require you to use a cookbook every night. Who has time to use a cookbook every night?!?
Also, my daughter laughed in all the right places during the intro and instructions, so you should probably buy it and find out why.

A note: I provide space in the planner for five main dishes, since I found that if I planned seven meals for a week, we wound up with too many leftovers and things went bad. There is extra space on the page if you really want to have all seven meals planned.
