[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some things that work for me:

Have your past meals organized in some way. For me, it's a list in Google sheets with basic categories like Vegetarian, Pasta, Meat. Then just pick from this list. It doesn't matter if you made the same thing last week.

Have set nights for certain things, like other PPs mentioned. Mexican night, sandwhich night, pasta night, etc.

Lean into breakfast for dinner, easy and always a hit.

Your DH can cook up some chicken nuggets and prepare salad from a bag, or roasted veggies. That's an acceptable weeknight dinner for the family. Not everything has to be a recipe. [/quote]

I more or less do the same as do, but write my favorite recipes on cards which then go into Container Store photo cases. I've got different color cases for different food categories. So my green case is for vegetarian recipes (Mondays), one for soup, one for salad, one for fish (Thursdays), etc. I don't get as much decision fatigue, but I still don't like cooking every single night. DH works away during the week, so he is not there to help. [/quote]
