this is a great idea! I’ve had a list like this except it’s for quick meals that don’t need many ingredients. (that way I can throw something together at the last minute and am not as tempted to get take out).

First of all, great tip! Secondly, are you my twin? I swear that I just read your profile and looked at your blog and we sound so similar. Swing by my blog and you will see what I am talking about

I keep mine in a spiral notebook too but now I’m having problems with the pages coming out because of them being used so much!!I’m trying to decide how to go backand keep them organized so I don’t have to keep replacing my notebook…maybe a binder and page protectors??Tracy

Great idea. I do something similar, but I did not list side dishes with it. My dear one just commented this morning that we have great main dishes, but what about putting something with it? I am going to sit down and add all the side dishes, so I won’t be fretting over what goes with things.

I do use a lot of fresh ingredients, so I often make a stop or two during the week at my local farm stand for that stuff. It’s a separate grocery list, actually. I will make a note of fresh stuff I need to buy the second week. I try to make the recipes that use the ingredients that will go bad first, right after I grocery shop, and I save the other recipes for when I’ve used up the fresh stuff.

That was me! I shared the pre-printed grovery\shopping list. Your idea for making lists of meals is great because we always seem to end up eating the same things all the time. If you have a collection you can flip through and find something different. Thanks
