Hello, everyone!

I just completed a summer project that I promised myself that I would do to make my life much easier and to alleviate stress. I thought I would share what I have done, just in case these ideas might help someone else on the forum.

First, I went through my pantry, all cupboards with food, my spices, and my refrigerator. I made a typed shopping checklist (that I can adjust and reprint as needed) that is broken down into the following categories: oils, sweeteners, nuts & seeds, fruits, drinks, flours/baking, meats, breads, condiments, dairy, pasta/rice, vegetables, spices, beans, snacks, cereals/pancakes, household, cat, cosmetics, cleaners. I was able to straighten everything out as I went through what my husband, my two stepsons, and I eat. I had to account for groceries that I cannot eat as well, so the list is rather long. I used the checklist for the first time this past Friday, and it really helped when I went grocery shopping.

Then, I created a master binder for myself. In the binder, I have the following food information for myself. Everything in the binder is organized and was placed inside plastic separators.

#1: I now have an 8-day rotation for breakfast, including the recipes.

#2: I have a 7-day rotation for lunches, including the recipes. Plus, on some days, I will have dinner leftovers.

#3: I have a 4-week (28-day) rotation of dinner recipes that break down in the following way:

Mondays: 4 different beef recipes
Tuesdays: 4 different chicken recipes
Wednesdays: 4 different fish recipes
Thursdays: 4 different ground beef recipes
Fridays: date night or family night (depending on whether we have the boys with us)
Saturday: crock pot and lengthier time-frame recipes
Sundays: 4 different dinner salad recipes

I am not a huge dessert person (I used to be)—I typically have a small piece of dark chocolate slathered in liquid chocolate stevia, but there are plenty of recipes on the forum if my sweet tooth acts up. I also have a bunch of dessert recipes that my husband and the boys like that I cannot eat.

My husband and I have decided to replace any recipes that we do not like that are new to both of us. Plus, if we get bored, we can always find new recipes to cycle in as we like.

I owe huge thanks to the following individuals, who were my inspiration and gave me a ton of support. They all know how challenged I am in this department:

ANNA
KAREN
DONNA
MARIA

This endeavor was HUGE for me because cooking and grocery shopping and meal planning has ALWAYS caused me a ton of stress. I have a mother who hates to cook. I love her, but she is just awful at it. Growing up, she couldn’t/didn’t teach me a thing. When I left home at 22, I couldn’t boil water, and up until recently, I managed to never really learn much over the years—a lot of people have enabled me!!!

I hope this post helps someone like me out there. If anyone needs more information, please let me know!
