Everyone who's been following the MEAL PLANNER - over here for a second....

I received my copies of a couple of meal planners last week. Tweaked them a bit and then went shopping. I have never, in my life, been or felt, so bloody organised.

It's been a joy the last three days - no wondering about what to do for dinner etc.

How's everyone else finding it?

Any other top tips for meal planning?

I'd like a copy too please. (Hope all this emailing isn't becoming too much of a chore):

DL - fantastic. Thank you so much. If any one emails you any more and you get a minute to post them up on that list, will you drop a note on here?! Fantastic resource for fresh ideas!

MN HQ - is it possible that thiese mealplanners can be posted ion the site rather than evreyone emailingthem hither and thither and so making public their email addresses? Some MNetters won't want their email address on an open forum, for reasons of privacy or even personal safety

Thanks

ooh, great, thanks for making them available to download- lots of inspiration there, I've been stuck in a real 'food' rut recently

So has anyone started a discussion on this now that we all have access to the menu planners?

I looked at them, and they were a little bit inspirational, but we mainly eat veggy food, and so a lot of the meals listed weren't for us.

I have made my life very complicated every Thursday, but very easy for the rest of the week by menu planning our lunch, the kids' evening meal and my and DH's evening meal.

This isn't quite as complex as it sounds, as leftovers from Macaroni cheese (for eg) made for my and DH's evening meal, will become the kids' tea the next day.

I thought I might put a list of all the meals I draw from each week on here - not as a plan as such, but more as inspiration, which is the way I use it.

I try to stagger the rice-pasta-potatoes throughout the week. We eat a bit of meat, but not much: chicken maybe once a fortnight at most and the kids and DH might have fish fingers or sausages one other time.
