I do my meal planning about the same as above.
I sit down on grocery day and just think of 6 meals. I try not to assign days because I never feel like having it if I planned for it.
So I usually pick each day what will be for dinner that night out of what I planned for.
But Im in SUCH a rut for cooking right now. I need NEW IDEAS! I got a few for this week though. So that is good.
