Hey Serene,

Some time back - maybe in the summer- you posted

something like a month of what you were cooking for

dinner. Or maybe ith was a week, or two weeks. I

think it was more than a week. And I thought I saved

it - with the thought that someday I might need it.

But now I can't find it. Do you think you could

resend that same thing if you have it? And if you

don't still have it, do you think you could post

something similar, at your convenience? Thank you

very much!

Alyson, this is probably what you're looking for?It's clear to me that I (and my family) eat better when I plan out our meals. Once in a while, I do it for several weeks at a time. Sundays I reserve for trying something new. Here's the next few weeks' plans (just dinner; breakfast and lunch I don't tend to bother planning, because when I do I never follow the plan). Serene Nights marked [*] mean make extra (for craft night, or for leftovers to feed James while I'm gone on Saturdays) Week of 6/4 Friday [*]: Whole-wheat spaghetti w/tomato sauce and mushrooms, steamed asparagus Saturday: Street fair with Guy Sunday: Peanut noodles from Vegetarian Times (includes veggies & tofu), cucumber salad Week of 6/11 Monday [*]: Tacos (soft corn tortillas, TVP, fresh salsa, guacamole) Tuesday: Potatoes w/chickpea gravy, steamed veggies Wednesday: Udon with tofu,
