[quote=Anonymous]DD is now 3 and my goal is 2-3 meals/wk eaten together.  The others she eats while I sit with her, and then DH and I eat later.  I sit down on Sunday mornings and make our meal plan and then shop right away.  AFTER eating breakfast so that I'm not hungry while roaming the aisles.  My goal is at least 1 vegetarian night, and when possible, one seafood night.

Sunday: Often something grilled.  Usually without DD since we watch football or something that night while we eat.
Monday: Slow cooker, ideally, so we can start the week eating dinner as a family.  When possible, I do a vegetarian soup like minestrone.
Tuesday: Usually a salad with grilled chicken
Wednesday: Stirfry (veggie only if Monday's dinner had meat) over quinoa.  Maybe another soup.  Varies depending on what sounds good that week.
Thursday: DH and I order in, usually Thai food.
Friday: Dinner as a family.  Tacos or something grilled, or soup/chili if we didn't have soup on Wednesday.
Saturday: Another grilled night, often steak or pork.  Or, I might try to make something a bit more complicated, or even simple but "gourmet", as a reminder of the days when we used to have great meals every night!

As you can see, we're big fans of using our gas grill year-round.  We also like soup.
DH doesn't like leftovers and refuses to pack a lunch, so I bring the leftover soup or DD eats it as dinner the next night as well.[/quote]
