[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]For meals, I basically make the same 5-7 weekday meals on repeat (with slight seasonal variation), and nearly always have the ingredients for those.[/b] Boring, but helps a lot. Eventually we get sick of one meal and switch it out for a newer recipe.

And one load of laundry per day is a must. However you can make that happen. Otherwise I would be drowning in dirty laundry. That said, we always have baskets of (folded) clean clothes that seem to sit awhile. I have started keeping a bin of hangers in the laundry room to hang shirts and other hanging items right away at least. Then just grab them all by the hangers & can put everyone’s away in one trip. I also keep a kitchen trash bag next to the washing machine for outgrown or donation clothes. I throw them straight into it out of the dryer & drop off when full [/quote]

We do something similar in that one night is Asian (stir fry, Pad Thai, fried rice, Mongolian beef, potstickers), two nights are Mexican (the first is "fresh" with the meat cooked that night, the second is more bowls/quesadillas/burritos with leftovers), one is pasta (change up the protein, the sauce, and the noodles), one is American (grilled meat of some sort), and one is a salad. We always have at least one night out and then usually a "down" night of leftovers or something casual or ordering pizza or having friends over/going to someone's house. [/quote]
