It's Sunday again and I love Sundays. Each week, I save Sunday as a day for cooking and meal planning. I look over the coming week's schedule and pull out recipes from a myriad of cookbooks. I enjoy reading each ingredient, deciding whether it's a good seasonal fit and whether or not I will find fresh meat and vegetables suitable to the meal. Some people read the Sunday paper cover to cover. Instead, I hover over ingredients and instructions. Something about paprika, broth, saute or mince that lets me relax on a Sunday morning. This is all a preamble to what will become a very busy week. And between the projects and meetings, and quick visits to the gym or trail, it's so important to eat a decent meal. I used to stress each day about what we would eat, but already out of time, I had to just hope for the best. At night I would get home, throw a bunch of things into a stir fry and, once again, hope for the best. I like stir fry, but it can be stifling to my creativity!
Now, I use an extremely simple (so simple, why didn't I think of it?!) planner put together by momAgenda.com. I get the simplest of simple items: a single-page weekly meal planner, and it saves me a lot of stress...

Mom Agenda has planners for all types and needs. Definitely marketed
towards the working mother, I have no children and still I find their
creations indispensable. Check out their leopard

I'm about to dive into recipes, enjoy the flavors and choose five for the coming week. When I'm done making my list of meals (on the left), I list the groceries required on the right, and then run to the local grocery store for whatever items I need. I do love Sundays.
