To those who meal plan

Do any of you have days of the week that are for certain foods?  We decided to do pizza Mondays (and Fridays if DH has anything to do with it) I was thinking about maybe making other days of the week similar, but I am nervous that everyone will get sick of expecting the same thing every time.  I wasn't worried about the pizza because they love it so much, but what about pasta Tuesday, or meat and potatoes Thursday etc.  Would it work?  Or be boring?

    I want to do taco Tuesdays and homemade pizza Fridays but my DH gets sick of it. My kids and I do fine though.

    We do same types of meats weekly, but not the same day weekly. We pretty much do pork,chicken, steak/beef, ground Turkey/beef. I just try to switch up the recipes.

    I don't like having the same thing every week so for me it wouldn't work. However, you could always try it out for a few weeks and if you get bored then switch it up. There is nothing set in stone saying you have to do that forever.
    That is true.  I wonder if they would notice if I didn't tell them.  The main reason I want to do it is that I am so tired of being the only one coming up with supper every night.  They will not contribute at all by giving suggestions.  It would just take one more thing off my mind if I didn't have to think about it so much.

    I don't do specific foods, but I do schedule by category:

    Sunday - a roast (a pot roast, pork loin, whole chicken)
    Monday - leftovers
    Tuesday - crockpot meal (chicken tacos, meatballs, pulled pork)
    Wednesday - leftovers
    Thursday - soup/stew/chilli
    Friday - leftovers
    Saturday - is either fend for yourself, takeout, or something quick (usually pasta)

    Since I plan several weeks at a time, it makes it easier to follow an outline like this.

    my daughter doesnt have a problem with Tuna Tuesdays, and I think even if i make a Tuna Thursday, she wouldnt complain as well! i agree with PPs though that it is the DHs that complain about routine stuff like this. The toddler and I are OK with predictive meal plans

    I will be starting meal planning in March when DH goes back to work. He won't typically eat dinner w us during the week because he gets home late most times. So I will be doing general food groups for each day but change the recipe. Much like what Reesefox is doing.
