OP again - thanks for all the tips, I will check them out. Can someone recommend a site or give me tips for how to organize a week of homemade meals? Like do you use an index-card system or a calendar, etc? And what are the steps you take to stay organized from start ot finish? Where do you collect your recipes from - are they all over (internet, magazine, recipe book) and you just go on a search, or do you have everything in one place that you've collected/printed as you go?

Good luck op. Thanks. I do cook but am looking for easier monthly planning withleftover plans and grocery lists. Any suggestions?
