                    sigh...do I have to cook again? every day? I do cook..every day...b`ut I get soooo tired of it...I think this is my least favorite 'chore'.

                    Mainly due to things like tonight, we may or may not have company..but I don't know yet...and may not know till they get here (or fail to show...)

                      Re: what is your menu for the week?

                      I don't plan it for whole week. I see what needs to be eaten so I don't have to throw it away. But I always plan to have at least
                      1 kind of the soup,
                      1 either potatoes or pasta or rice,
                      1 kind of meat ( meatballs, chicken etc)
                      1 kind of salad.

                      I usually make bigger batch to last us for 2 days (except for salad). Sometimes it lasts 1 day or 3 days, so I check what else needs to be cooked and cook it.

                        I hear ya! I pretty much eat whatever is here; I own a catering business, so there are always some leftovers, but never really a balanced "meal". I usually make a salad at work and then add to it....

                              You are all soooo organized! I am trying to get my menu more organized. I even checked out websites that you can subscribe to and they will send you the menu for the week and the shopping list! I did not subscribe yet but am thinking about it. We usually do chicken, beef and pasta. My family does not like fish and I really don't know how to cook it. With chicken, I usually do a whole chicken, a day of leftovers, then make chicken noodle soup. Will do a beef dish such as hamburgers, steaks, roast, etc. And, pasta usually consists of spaghetti or lasagna. I am not a big fan of pork, so I don't make it very often.
