Easy Dinner Ideas

Ugh... Time to make the grocery list again? Didn't I just do this like... a week ago? (Yes). I think I've decided that planning meals is way more annoying than actually cooking them. Every time I finish a grocery list, I sigh on the inside. Because while I'm making it, I'm thinking of a million things at once (in true girl fashion): What did we eat last week? Don't plan for chicken every night. We need some variety.    What fridge findings can I turn into sides? This is rotten already, are you kidding me? Think...think... I know there's something besides canned soup we can eat Tuesday.

Ok. So you get it. Sometimes I wish every dinner I've ever made was just listed somewhere [besides my messy cupboard]. No, I'm not just a [total] slob, I do refer back to these lists from time to time when I need help with my meal planning. 

Wish no further, I'm saying to myself right now. Your marriage-long dream has become a reality. (So I need to dream a little bigger, I know). 

*** I would give you disclaimers, but I think you'll form your own opinions anyways. And, apparently we need to eat more fish.***
