[quote=Anonymous]We do theme weeks and I spend 3-4 hours on Sunday while I make phone calls doing the prep work. I carmelize onions, make rice or barley, makes sauces or dressings, make marinades and put meat + marinade in ziplock bags, cut fruit salad and make 8 containers for DH and I's lunches, and chop/prep veggies and group together in bags or bowls. The beauty of the theme is that all the recipes use similar ingredients. Common Themes are Mexican, Mediterranean, Vietnamese, American Picnic foods. Each week usually has 1 night of traditional meat/starch/veggie 1 night of taco/quesadilla/self assembly type food (tacos, pitta wraps, lettuce wraps) 1 pasta/grain with sauce and meat - like a curry, stew or stir fry 1 meal salad night - usually with bits of leftover meat [/quote]
