It&#8217;s so darn stressful having to think of\u00a0something\u00a0for everyone to eat at the end of the day when I&#8217;ve been\u00a0working\u00a0all day. I enjoy cooking but I hate figuring out what to cook.<\/p>\n<p>I really should work on meal and menu planning. It would be great to come home at the end of the day and just\u00a0start\u00a0dinner, or even better have it all finished in the crock pot and waiting for me to serve. That sounds much more relaxing than standing in front of the fridge, freezer, and pantry every\u00a0night\u00a0for 30 minutes trying to figure\u00a0something\u00a0out. It makes me cranky sometimes when I can&#8217;t find something easy after a long day and I&#8217;m\u00a0exhausted\u00a0and just want to eat and sit down.<\/p>\n<p>I think maybe I will start meal planning I know it would make grocery shopping easier because I\u00a0would\u00a0only have to buy what&#8217;s on my list from the meals I have planned. Sometimes I can spend hours in the grocery store just wandering the aisles and tossing stuff in the cart. I can spend $100 or more easily and get home and not have anything to make a complete meal. I guess I just\u00a0have\u00a0to get to it and start. In the mean time, pizza it is for tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s almost 5 o&#8217;clock and I still have no idea about what is for dinner.
