Letter from the flylady's mailing list (from Leanne Ely)
Dear Friends,
If you don't know what's for dinner today, welcome to the club it's a big one! 90% of America will not know at 4:00 PM today what they will be serving in just a few hours. Out of that 90%, some will opt for heating up a frozen pizza or calling the pizza guy for delivery, some will battle the crowds and snag a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store, others will choose the drive thru or go out and the last few will try in vain to put something together with the odds and ends ingredients in their pantries and fridges.
All of these options have STRESS written all over them.
I'm not saying you can't do any of these things occasionally; it's just that when this becomes the way you do dinner, it's more haphazard and stressful than it needs to be. The easy button is your pantry and fridge being properly stocked, your grocery list being filled out and used when you go to the grocery store so you can keep that pantry and fridge stocked. And naturally, having a menu that reflects your week, so you know what days you can cook and what days you need help (the days you're schlepping kids to sports, dance, music lessons, etc.)
Let me define "help". Help to me comes in the form of my crockpot, pressure cooker, a frozen dinner kit that I've made thawing in the fridge for that night, leftovers, sandwiches, breakfast for dinner and a last resort, take out or the pizza guy. The rest of the time, I make dinner and although it rarely takes me over 30 minutes to make a meal, the other options I just listed take half that time and really save me on the busiest nights.
It is just as simple as I've outlined it. The very first place to start is with a menu that reflects your needs, a grocery list to reflect the menu and a trip to the grocery store!
Be a part of the minority and know what's for dinner tonight!
Love, Leanne Ely, Your Dinner Diva since 2001
