I used to plan every week until couple years ago. Now the hardest is that I am at home full time and I just have to get up and think of what I will be cooking for dinner that night, so I don't really need to plan for the week. But wait, I did plan ahead for tomorrow night. It's TGIF so I'm making homemade pizza. I love that smell in the house. I guess I should start planning for next week. You really encourage me to do so.

The hardest part about menu planning is just getting it done. I start with a blank pad of paper and stare at it. If I’m feeling adventurous I fill in the blanks with all new recipes, but inevitably at least 1/2 of those turn into hamburger or taco meals because of not having the right ingredients.

I need to learn how to plan ahead… especially because I also have a family of five and I work from home too, but we are having an easy lasagne with meat sauce that does not require layering and it turns out great…

I'm all about the menu planning for the week and trying to figure out when exactly I'll run out of leftovers, what day to cook, etc. Then my wife will want to order out one night and it will throw off the entire plan, lol--unacceptable! I save so much money and so much less goes to waste...and like you said, its a great excuse to read/stare at food literature. ;-) Also, I love the photo of the tilapia dish--it sounds like a tasty one!

The hardest thing about menu planning is, we have so much raw materials to work with and it is hard to settle on one dish. BTW, I had a hard time finding your RSS feed link. I saw your email subscription box, and the Atom link in my browser's address bar. But the obvious place to find the RSS subscription, which is an orange RSS icon in the same general area as the email subscription box, is not there. The "Entries RSS" link on the left sidebar is not that intuitive. Nates last blog post..Mochi Ice Cream from Bubbies (Honolulu)

I can easily tell you one thing on our menu this week; this Tilapia Parmesan. I loved it, my husband not so much, preferring his fish unadorned. But I would spread this stuff on anything and broil it, it was that good.

My newest struggle with menu planning? Going from a houseful to just the two of us. That’s right, everyone is gone, married or to college and I have no idea how to cook for just 2! So we do a lot of individually frozen fish filets; kind of takes the guesswork out of it.

Thanks for the giveaway.
