A friend recently reminded me about a tradition I used to have. Every Sunday night I would make a cup of tea after the kids went to bed and cuddle up with my notebook to plan the meals for the upcoming week alongside a grocery list. Somewhere in the middle of my busy schedule I lost the cup of tea and Sunday night, and it has become a frantic list on the way to the grocery store.
I saw the Idea for "Meal Plan Mondays" somewhere around the blogosphere. Thought that I would start posting my meal plans here. I hope that it will keep me more disciplined about planning. My week goes so much smoother when I plan it out and stay organized. Wonder why?
Monday - Cauliflower Gratin, applesauce
Tuesday - Chicken Noodle Soup
Wednesday - Beef Satay, peanut dipping sauce, coconut rice, cucumber salad with cilantro
Thursday- Pea Soup
Friday - kids eat leftovers, C + E this and maybe this? after kids are asleep
Saturday - spaghetti, salad
Sunday - Packer Party @ friends, bring chicken wings
Monday - homemade pizza

I hope you keep doing this, so I can steal some of your good ideas. First theft? Cauliflower grantin.
I second what Cate said...Cauliflower Gratin sounds awesome. You always have such good food ideas, Erin. I could use your brainstorming for Thanksgiving! Call me.

A suggestion for your nightstand--A Homemade Life by Molly Wizenberg (Orangette). I love the way she writes about and describes food related things. A bit of a strange family and she sometimes tells more than I want to know about her but it's light reading that includes a recipe in each short chapter.
I used to do this as well, but got out of the habit. I need to start again. maybe I'll just steal your menus.
