Some Days...

Today was supposed to be a grocery shopping day.  I like to have a basic meal plan for the week when I head out to the stores because otherwise I'm just wandering around thinking "Well...that might work."  As a wise man once told me regarding dieting, "Fail to plan? Plan to fail."

Of course, I didn't think about planning meals for the week until last night after I had taken my melatonin, so nothing came to mind.  That's okay, I told myself.  I will just do it in the morning.

Let me just say right now that I am not now, nor have I ever been, a morning person.

Meal planning is probably better if you enjoy cooking and/or have people who like everything you make living in the house.  Since that's not the case here in the FHP household, I have to take to Google to attempt to find ideas that won't make me cry.

One site that I've found that's pretty helpful is Food On The Table.  Food On The Table finds sales at some of your local grocery stores, helps you find meals to prepare, and gives you a detailed grocery list to take shopping with you based on what you chose.  It IS a subscription based site if you want to take advantage of all the goodies, but if you just need a little help (or you're broke!), you can get 3 meals and your grocery list for free.  The FOTT blog is also a major help because every Monday, there is a meal planner for the week!  It's all pretty much normal, mostly healthy stuff, too. Nothing too fancy pants, which is awesome.

Sigh. I guess I should get back to planning.  Tomorrow IS a grocery day!
