Re: Poll: Meal Planning
Do you meal plan? Sometimes I'm really good about this, and other times, I do horribly with it. It's very much back and forth.
How do you do it (weekly, monthly, etc)? Weekly - however, while pregnant, I do 2-3 days worth of meals at a time. I find that anything further out than that, and it's likely not to sound good by the time I've scheduled the meal.
do you have a 'go to' meal list? No
or do you try and switch it up and introduce new recipes? Yep! I do have a binder full of tried and true recipes that I will use as well, but I'm much better at following a meal plan if I switch it up.
Where do you get your recipes? Most recently - Pinterest. Otherwise, cooking blogs, Weight Watchers website (when I subscribed online), and I have some cookbooks that I like. Otherwise, I'll just Google search for something that I have in mind, and then find something specific from the results.

I do!
I switch from weekly to bi-weekly. Depending on time/grocery time and what I have in my fridge/pantry. Ideally, I think 2 weeks is best for me. I like to spread my grocery trips out 2 to 3 weeks.
My only go to meal is spaghetti. We have it a lot in the fall/winter, especially when I work.
We basically do new recipes like allll the time. I find so many on blogs and pinterest I always have stuff to make up meal plans.
Here's some sites/recipes that ive saved recently..

How do you do it (weekly, monthly, etc)? Weekly
do you have a 'go to' meal list? No, but I have a few "go-to" cookbooks and websites that have recipes in them that I repeat
or do you try and switch it up and introduce new recipes? I do 1 or 2 new recipes every week, usually.
Where do you get your recipes? Books: More Healthy Homestyle Cooking, So Easy, Young & Hungry, Cooking Light Magazine. Websites: allrecipes.com, Pinterest

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
Do you meal plan? Yes.
How do you do it (weekly, monthly, etc)? 2 weeks at a time
do you have a 'go to' meal list? It's different every week. Literally.
or do you try and switch it up and introduce new recipes? See above.
Where do you get your recipes? e-mealz.com. HIGHLY recommend. You have to pay for it ($15 for 3 months), but that boils down to $1.25 a week and we save so much time, effort, and money.
