Take it from me, the world's okayest meal planner:
1. Plan seven dinners. End up with leftovers and impromptu invitations from friends.
2. Don't plan seven dinners. Kids will devour everything (leaving no leftovers) and nobody likes you this week.
3. Dutifully ignore all your early-in-the-week grand ideas for fancy side dishes, making the planning moot and leaving you with vegetables you wonder why you purchased.
4. Assume you'll have time and energy after a full day of work, an appointment and a sports game to cook dinner.
5. Make every meal a big production instead of remembering the convenience and joys of canned soup, sandwiches, frozen pizza or breakfast for dinner.
Stay tuned next time when I attempt to remind myself of some actually helpful hints for making sure my family eats at least two real meals a week.
