[quote=Anonymous]I am having a very hard time with menu planning and getting home cooked meals on the table.  Before baby,  I would love to try new recipes and only cooked those that were "restaurant quality."  Now, I'm lucky to throw pasta with some sauce together.  Last night I had an ephiphany, weeknight "themes."  I am going to try to have the same type of meal on the same day of the week.  For example,

Monday: Italian/Pasta night (ideas: lasagna, roasted or grilled veggies with pasta, spinach manicotti, etc)
Tuesday: Tex-Mex night (Ideas: healthy tacos, quesadillas, black bean casserole/tamale pie, etc)
Wednesday: free day (leftovers or eat out) 
Thursday: soup/chili night (crockpot chicken tortilla soup, butternut squash chili, minestrone soup, etc)
Friday: free day (leftovers or eat out)
Saturday: Homemade pizza night
Sunday: Asian night (Ideas: Chana Masala, Green curry, Stir-fry, etc)

Has anyone tried to do something like this?  Has it worked?  I feel like it will make menu planning soooo much easier, and grocery shopping too.  I welcome any other ideas to get a healthy homemade dinner on the table![/quote]
