As I was planning dinner for tonight I realized that I'm a little weird. I like to plan my meals so that we have left-overs for Morgan to take to work, but today I realized that I planned meals based on how quickly we would need to eat them, and how much time I would have to prepare them. Take this week as an example.
Yesterday I made Chicken Curry for dinner. Morgan and I had a Lamaze class to be to at 6:30 and we were feeding the missionaries. Curry is an easy rice and sauce meal that is filling and can be eaten quickly. Plus there would be left-overs.
Tonight I was going to make Zucchini muffins and sausage since we have plenty of curry for lunch tomorrow but I realized that Thursday Morgan and I have Marriage Strengthening course that begins at 6:30 so muffins would be a faster dinner that night.
So now my plan is a Spinach Quiche for tonight, zucchini muffins for tomorrow, curry for Morgan's lunches and Friday we'll pick something else off the list.
Sometimes I think I am a little weird about this whole "home-maker" thing, but it is just easier for me to be organized, have things planned out, and not have to stress about things as the moment comes.
So I AM a little weird, but it works for me.

If you're weird, then I am too. I NEED to plan out menus each week as well, and I always do it with a calendar in hand. Life just goes smoother when I can plan ahead and be organized like that.
I'm glad I found your blog. :)
