[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate meal planning and only do it if we are hosting people. I love cooking and like to make whatever inspires me on a given day.  In order to pull this off without a lot of extra work or waste, I keep an extremely well-stocked freezer and pantry. We get grocery delivery once a week from Washington’s Green Grocer, and in addition to their large organic box, I’ll add a few things from their a la carte menu that look good. I then come up with a dinner plan each day based on whatever vegetables remain from the box for that week.  I go to the grocery store for random items once a month max.

My family are fortunately not picky at all, and love trying new things, but they do have favorites that I work in every few days. Left to my own devices, I would rarely make pasta or meals with ground beef, and I’d make a vegetarian or pescatarian dinner the majority of the time instead of just a couple days per week.  But those are really the only constraints, so I’m free to try several new recipes each week. I’ve been very grateful to be able to work from home these last couple of years since I have more time and energy to explore new cuisines and make more elaborate meals.  I totally understand why meal planning reduces stress for some families, but it would make me feel too boxed in.

Could you share some of the successful things you've made? Pasta with ground turkey or beef is a staple here because it requires no thinking. I would love to get some new ideas.[/quote]
