I've been a bit reluctant to dive fully into meal planning, not for any real reason other than I'm to fickle to commit to a meal for say Wednesday on Sunday. BUT this week I was made aware of another benefit of meal planning....the husband will cook dinner if I tell him what to cook!
When I was talking to Dan about my plans to dive into meal planning I was fully expecting him to scoff at me. But instead he said "if you make the meal plan I'll cook" Um what?!?! That's all it would have taken...all these years and I never knew!
Anyhow, I made a lose meal plan for this week just listing the various things I planned to make for dinner and the man has cooked every night this week! That right there is enough to make me a believer in meal planning!

nice! thats pretty awesome. question is. is he any good?
I'll send my husband right over for some husband lessons. His name is Dan too so they should get along fine. haha
SCORE!!!
My ex and I tried it for quite awhile. It was fun (we both cook) and was nice to go grocery shopping once a week (and cheaper), but took a lot of time to plan.
Good luck! Hope you guys can keep it up. =)
My problem is that I don't really want Brian to cook since I am so OCD about how it is prepared, lol! I am proud of Dan for showing off his housewife abilities :) I knew he had it in him!
That is awesome! Though, like megan, I prefer to do the cooking. DH always screws it up. Another way to meal plan for the week, while still being fickle is to plan out which meals you will have...but not commit them to any particular day. That way you can shop for the week in one go. Then you have a list of 5 or 6 meals that you have the groceries for. Then when Wednesday rolls around you can choose from the 3 or 4 meals you haven't done yet. I'm always switching things around.
