If you give Evangeline a Brussel sprout...This random lunch day before yesterday was pretty good. View attachment 3211304
I was about to boil the frozen brussel sprouts, but then I decided to fry them in some brown butter instead, then I ended up spicing it with whatever smelled good, then I thought a cream sauce might be nice, and then I saw some Parmesan cheese in the fridge
So I ended up having brown butter alfredo.

No...
It's a staple for us. I plan about half my menu and ask the fam for things they'd like to have for meals to fill in the rest. some kind of pasta with a red meat sauce or meatballs is always requested. I'll usually do that on golf practice nights where we're home later than normal and I want something fast.I never plan out spaghetti. That's reserved for the days when it's getting to be 6:00 and I have no idea what to cook for dinner
We started with a 30 day menu. It was too much. I get paid every 2 weeks so we do a 2 week menu and grocery shop one time (except sometimes milk. We go through a lot and I don't like it being around 2 weeks because it tends to go bad here in the desert pretty fast in summer) What I've discovered is that if I do not meal plan, we tend to spend significantly more on groceries (usually qickie junk food) and / or eat out more often. Those are both bad, so it's worth the time. Plus, I've been doing it for years now so it's routine. That always helps.
