Whenever I look for new recipes online

I end up thinking, oh that's easy, I can throw that together. And I come up with all these ideas... Then when it's dinner time, I'm stumped and we either end up eating out or I make the same old crap I've been making for years.  Blah.  I suck at meal planning.

    When you find the recipes, make a shopping list of the ingredients right then, and then write your meal plan on your fridge so you know exactly what you have to make! That might help?

    Yeah, I need to write everything down. I tend to just buy the same stuff every week and then when I want to try something new, I don't have the ingredients on hand that I need.  It really is just a matter of following through and having the motivation to try new stuff.  And the motivation to cook it!

    I'm a crazy tech geek. I have a shopping list app that I enter things into while I'm on the couch looking at magazines or recipes online, which helps tremendously!

    I try to meal plan. I write down my list for the week. Make my list for food shopping. Then DH has to stay late at work. Or doesnt come home from work.

    So, I plan 3 means for the week. He and BIL do the rest when/if they will be home!

    The one I like the most is called "Our Groceries" for iphone/itouch. I have also used Shopulator if you have an android. I just use my Touch for shopping - the app lets you make different lists for different stores so it also helps me keep track of what's on sale where. I can't remember if it was free or not, but I love it!
