It’s not the actual prep and cooking that I’ve had enough of; I can enjoy that. It’s having to think about what to cook — the meal planning and shopping — that aggravates me.
Agreed! Thinking what to have is horrible!
Especially when you are sort of limited with EXTREMELY picky man and child!

A friend of mine raising 9 children had a two week menu plan and shopping list. She shopped at Aldi once a week for the menu of the week rarely straying from her list because they were on quite a tight budget. They all knew that Tuesdays on week 1 was going to be meatloaf. It took away all of the planning work because it was already done!
I’m with you on that. I’m not a great meal planner, never was.
I hear THAT, Sister!
A First World Problem, for sure! ;)
I used to find it BORING, but my Mom always served the same meals on the same days of the week, with variations for seasonal produce, meat sales, if Grandpa caught a lot of fish that week, etc. Now, it's the only way to do it!
