Change has been all for the BETTER lately, as has the four-day weekend. But! One thing they have not been good for is creating new routines.
We're now a bit further away from butcher/grocer (though we're still super close to a supermarket) and T has started playing sports again, with training twice a week. Add to that the fact he's knocking back protein shakes all the time and you can see why we haven't found our food groove yet. Plus, we tend to do one shared dinner a week on Sunday or Monday with the flatties.
A lot of people seem to swear by intense organisation - but that's definitely not our style.
For one, we tend to go by what's fresh and on special. (Supermarkets do mailers detailing weekly sales but butchers and grocers do not.)
For another, T does most of our dinner cooking, and he's definitely not a recipe kinda guy. That said, we both get into pretty serious food ruts that can be quite paralysing.
Neither of us are into prepping stuff ahead of time, either. (Sometimes I'll make a few days of lunches on Sunday and that's about it. Lunchwise he has an awesome inhouse cafeteria where he's working so that's him sorted.) But maybe it's worth a go, at least with certain kinds of veggies.
I guess I'm just trying to figure out the best way to integrate a bit of planning and getting meal inspiration (which for me comes from recipes online and for him probably more like food shows).
Tell me:
Where do you do your grocery shopping? Do you actively meal plan? Do you prep ingredients ahead of time?
