Meal Planning

Now that Toby has arrived and things are getting more settled with him, I’m going to try to get back into planning meals, grocery shopping, and cooking more regularly. Right now, we’re in a “eat whatever you want” kind of mode which leads to irregular grocery shopping and dietary chaos. I’m looking forward to getting regular meal planning and preparation back into my routine.

I’ve been collecting dinner recipes that look like something both Akiva and I will enjoy. That’s easier said than done since we have quite a few things we won’t eat. I’m also trying to keep the dinners at least somewhat healthy. One thing that I know works for us is for me to plan and purchase ingredients for four dinners per week. That allows for one weeknight where we’re on our own to eat something that the other person doesn’t like. And I do not cook dinners on the weekends (at least, not in any kind of organized way).

Here’s what I’m thinking about for the week of Oct. 25-29:
- Bean Bolognese
- Tofu Parmigiana
- Taco Salad
- Rice Corn Cakes with Spicy Black Beans
