Dinner....here to stay

So in my 13 years of marriage, I've finally realized that dinner is here to stay and I need a new approach. I don't plan well, I mostly wing it, spend too much on food and so much goes to waste. The crazy thing is dinner happens every night and you think I would have had it together by now. I always marvel at women that have a meal plan and stick to it. There have been some weeks that I have done this, but I stink at planning to use leftover ingredients in my next meal, hence the waste! This week as I was blog stalking, I came across someones recommendation for a meal planning website. I was initially turned off by paying a subscription fee, but as I thought about it, a dollar a week was worth it to try, these wonderful women have put together a system that makes my heart leap with joy! I got to choose which meal plan would work for my family of 2 and a half eaters for 5 low fat meals a week. What will we do the other 2 nights you may ask. Wing it...of course. So I wish I was starting on Monday because I do like order in some aspects of life, but hey, we gotta eat tonight. Right after school drop off we went to Winco( my favorite place,not!). I had my amazingly organized shopping list, prepared not by me, but my favorite new ladies, and down the aisles I zipped in record time! We drove into the parking lot at 8:20, found a non dud cart, strapped the munchkin in with a working seat belt, divvied out the snack and away we went, feeling quite empowered by my sweet official shopping list. My cart was so organized, that my bagging skills looked professional! I had my groceries bagged, put in the car, driven home and unloaded by 9:00 am! Oh yeah and a happy toddler to boot! Did you catch that timing? 40 minutes total...oh yeah baby! So at 4:00 today when some of you may be thinking, I hope hubby is up for pizza tonight, I'll be starting my first no brained meal! No, I won't be sacrificing any of our favorite meals because our favorite meals are in burnout mode. I'm not sure how good they will taste, but they look pretty basic, nothing weird. So if you want to join me in brainless meal planning....the website is.......
