menu planning and shopping off of a list

So for the last few weeks, I've tried my hand at actual menu planning. I make a list of about 2 weeks worth of meals (I don't worry much about which meal goes with which day), make a grocery list of what I will need for those meals, and head to the grocery store. It works great. The trouble is, today I just don't want to go to the store. I simply don't feel like it. I'll grumble about it a bit, but eventually I will get there. Why? Because we are essentially out of food at this house. Well, that's not exactly true. We did make a trip to the farmers market and the butcher shop yesterday, so we have meat and a drawer full of fresh produce. Too bad I don't have more essentials. Anyway, I thought it would help if I motivated myself further by typing out my meals. This always makes me excited about the meals of the coming weeks. These are just my dinner ideas, as lunch and breakfast are much less formal, and I just make sure to keep a variety of lunch foods on hand.

green beans

crock pot chicken tacos

Some of this stuff is really basic. I need at least a few meals like that for the days I work later than normal, or days that I'm just plain tired. That happens a lot as a working mom! The nice thing about doing it like this, is that I have a list to shop off of, and should be able to get most of the things I will need for the next 2 weeks in one trip. I'll need to make a few side trips for milk, bread, and juice, as we don't have the storage space to keep all of that sort of stuff for a whole 2 weeks. We go through a LOT of milk and juice!
