[quote=Anonymous]I meal plan - if I don't, we would get takeout every single night!  Or pasta with sauce.

So on Sunday I plan the meals, and write them down and post them on the fridge, right down to which veges and starch (or 2 veges) we will have with each meal, and which page the recipe can be found on (I cannot cook without a recipe).

Then I check what I need, make the shopping list and go do it.  Every Sunday.  Of course, you could split these into 2 different days, but you get the point.

Also, I hate wasting food so I have a few recipes (and I need to research some more) that need the same ingredient that I don't otherwise use much.  Example:  there are 2 recipes that need fresh celery.  So when I plan to have one of those, I always make the other one in the same week.  That way I use up all the celery because otherwise it languishes and rots and gets thrown away.

My mother did this when growing up - if we had a baked ham, we knew we'd have ham sandwiches a few days later and then a particular chicken dish would happen later in the week (which was my favorite meal, ever) because it needed some ham and she used the absolute leftovers for that
