New Year's Resolution #3: Meal Plans

There once was a time, long, long ago, when the space in my head was somewhat organized. I actually had the faculties to keep track of my money, and make grocery lists and actually buy groceries for more than two or three days of food at a time. We didn't eat out as much, and I used my slow cooker often, and life was grand - somehow I've let this brain-organization slip away from me, so this year I resolve to get back into meal planning.

I long to have a beautifully stocked freezer full of pre-portioned veggies and other ingredients. I have the room, I just haven't been using it and that makes me sad. This is largely due to the part I mentioned before about keeping track of my money - I've stopped that too, but that's a resolution for another day.

I've come across several things I think are helpful and wonderful and make me giddy inside (it's exciting, don't judge me), most of which can be found on... wait for it....................Pinterest. Have I mentioned how much I love it? Oh, I have? Well good.

I didn't make this - Robin @ RobbyGurl's Creations did...
you can even buy everything you need to make your own on her blog... 

This wonderful creation is what I aspire to have hanging on my kitchen wall some day, in the very near future. It's glorious. Even if I don't have exactly this menu board, I'm perfectly okay with concocting my own version. I've got the whiteboard already, and the rings, and the magnet strips, and a tonne of index cards. I will make this happen... it would be a hundred times easier if my printer worked though. Foiled again. Next time Gadget... next time.

So tell me, Internet:

What is your favorite recipe?

Do you meal plan, or just go day by day?

Still going...
