Do you plan your meals for the week or just"wing it"?
I try to discuss with DH what Ia m going to make that week, but sometimes I just go with the flow, whatever I am in the mood for that day I make. I love to cook, but it is a thankless job, sometimes it just gets under my skin to have to do this chore. We usually have take out 1-2 nites a week.

Re: Do you plan your meals for the week or just"wing it"?
I buy a bunch of food for the week, and we wing it from there...it depends on our mood each day. DH is not picky, so it mostly revolves around my mood.
ETA: We hardly ever order out or go out to eat.

Re: Do you plan your meals for the week or just"wing it"?
When I am NOT pregnant, which is all the time but now, I plan out what I'm going to make for the week, then buy those ingredients at the store. I don't plan what day we're having them, just plan to have them that week. But now, I don't even give dinner a thought until it's time to eat it. It's really bad.

Usually I just wing it. Unless I know I am going to be really busy that week, than I will try to plan it out.

I plan for the week but during the week I might mix things up depending on what I feel like cooking.

Ditto. When I shop I try to buy things that go together for meals, but decide that day before or even that day what we will have that night.

Same here...however my DH is very picky...so every morning I call him @ work and let him pick...
We order pizza once a week....(no particular day) and rarely go out to eat, or order in another night...

Re: Do you plan your meals for the week or just"wing it"?
We pretty much plan it out because of the whole defrosting thing, sometimes it takes more than one day to defrost. Sometimes we change our minds and save the meat for the next day and just have cereal or something else.

We buy meat and veggies for the week and DH decides each night what he's going to cook.

Re: Do you plan your meals for the week or just"wing it"?
I wing it.
i have my staple foods that I buy every week- but they are just basics that I can make many different meals with.
I usually buy a ton of veggies (stuff for salad, sides, etc)
ground turkey and beef- inexpensive and you can do SO much with them.
I am a BIG fan of the Alexia oven fries- they are low in fat and fantastic.

Re: Do you plan your meals for the week or just"wing it"?
I ask every night/morning what DH would like and then he asks me what we have in the freezer. I normally won't run to the store for stuff, we use what we got.

DH plans them during the day and then wings it depending on what's fresh in the supermarket.

Re: Do you plan your meals for the week or just"wing it"?
We plan on Monday night for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurday & the following Monday & then we go out or get take out fri-sun.
We plan entress, side dishes, deserts, lunch & snack, other wise we'd never had any food that made any sense.
And with a plan, DH can start dinner while he is waiting for me to get home.

Re: Do you plan your meals for the week or just"wing it"?
We will usually plan the entree and wing the veggies and/or side dishes. But sometimes we just aren't in the mood for what we planned for and we'll leave it for the next day
