Love the idea of planning, although I usually can not follow it due to constant change of schedule...I agree can make shopping, cooking much easier. Good for you!

thanks for the insight into your beautiful little head of ideas! i just don't have enough creativity and skill to come up with a plan of my own, so I will copy yours. I know it will be a hit; Mel is making your chicken salad for dinner now and wants YOU to make her an Italian dinner for her 18th in September:)

I love your planning skills.

I shop once for the week, planning what I am making every night of the week. I may change it around depending on the day, but it does take the stress out of:

A) going to the store several times a week and

B) Thinking at work about what to make for dinner.

Great job Robin Sue!! Have a great summer with your kids!

You are seriously the most organized mother I know. This is a great idea and I could these easy meals right now in all my chaos! I love it.

Having pan for menu seems like a good idea. I also like the sounding of your "Brown Buttered Noodles"

Robin Sue - you are the most organized mommy I know! I so admire how you are able to make a plan AND stick to it! You go girl!

Yikes! Your organization puts me to shame! You have a lucky family...and v. cute kids.

2009-06-20T11:26:29.851-04:00

Great ideas! I usually plan by the sales circulars and what is at the Farmers' Market. I tend to be spontaneous toward planning, but then I don't have darling kids like yours to feed.

Great post! Those ham and cheese rolls look fantastic! I am so glad you guys like the pizza bites, too. I might try a ham and cheese version!

The photos of your little sandwiches are FABULOUS. They really make me hungry!! My kids have all been out of the house for years, but I still have fond memories of them asking whats for dinner. They grow up so fast.

You always amaze me with your fabulous organization! I passed this on to my daughter!!

Weakly! I'm very bad at planning, partly because of a general lack of storage in my tiny galley kitchen. I tend to be inspired by whims, which isn't the best plan for my wallet.

BTW, I love your blog. Stumbled it, and plan to make the sliders soon.

2009-06-19T12:15:18.337-04:00

Can't wait to check out all these recipes - I am so impressed with your planning skills!!

I am a weekly shopper, by sale papers and what's in the pantry - you know my budget - $125 a week for breakfast/lunch/dinner for 3.

Happy Friday - hope you have a good weekend!

2009-06-19T11:26:45.653-04:00

My inlaws are coming for the next week - so my menu planning abilities were kicked into high gear...and are not nearly as quick and easy as your menus!

2009-06-19T11:00:22.706-04:00

Oh,my! I am in awe. A 6-month menu plan? Plan? What's that? LOL Unless we're having company my plan is to take something out of the freezer in the morning so it will be ready for dinner time! See, this is why I wouldn't make a good teacher... I don't know how to plan! LOL

2009-06-19T10:08:28.403-04:00

I always fail to stick to my plans. I should really be more organised.

Great post. I am a planner and try to plan our meals ahead of time so life is easy in the kitchen! Love your summer ideas!

The mini ham & cheese sandwiches look really good -- and your children are beautiful. I would enjoy spending 88 days with them! I think.

I often plan by the sale circular. And when I see a blog post I want to try. Like your sliders. I have made weekly plans in the past but I didn't always stick to it.
