How many of you plan a week ahead for the meals of the week coming up? Or do you just "wing it" day by day?

I usually buy and then plan each days meals as they come. I thaw my meat in the morning and plan my meals around that. Today we baked a chicken and had all the trimmings....dressing, Italian Green Beans, Sour Dough biscuits and we have enough left over for Tues. nights dinner....tomorrow it will be homemade chili and crackers with sliced avacado wedges. By Wed. I will more that likely have a Roast Beef with mashed potatoes dinner....... But that is about as far out as I plan. I start "winging it" for the rest of the week. It just works best for me that way, I like to be organized, but I also like the freedom to just play it by ear and see what everyone is in the mood for.

How about you?

We usually plan our meals here after going to the grocery store and getting whatever is being sold at a decent price.
How come you didn't post the whole week Cathy? I woulda just copied yours. Wednesday sounds really good with that roast beast.

Well I am planning on at some point this week making homemade Sloppy Joe's and would also like to make some "Moroccan Fish Tagine" I will most likely make that on Fri...

Which reminds me have you ever gotten interested in Moroccan cusine? How about Middle Eastern Cusine?

And by the way my sour dough biscuits were a new recipe I made up today...I took some of my sour-dough starter from the fridge and used it as the liquid in my biscuit recipe and it made my biscuits taste like they were made with buttermilk only better 'cause they were nice and fluffy and not doughy tasting at all! Sometimes my buttermilk biscuits are a wee-tad doughy tasting and not as fluffy as the plain milk biscuits!

I like threads that discuss "What we are having for Dinner tonight" as it serves to give me some great ideas!

Cathy, do you use the standard 2 cups of self rising flour recipe for your biscuits? If so, did you add any baking soda to the dry mixture? You have to share this sour dough biscuit recipe, lol. Specially since you just came up with it.

I have several friends that live in India. They are all veggies and share many recipes. Whats a Moroccan? Isn't that one of them things you shake in Latin style music. Lol.

I stock my freezer full of meats once or twice a month. I usually figure out a couple days ahead what I want to make from what is in the freezer and then pick up what ever I need to finish out the dinner from the store. Jon is not big on side dishes so he never wants more than one side at the most. I like a couple sides and give me veggies which he wont eat lol. Tomorrow Im making a roasting hen, dressing and steamed broccoli.
