When life sends you Lemons, just bake a cake

lol vl, i keep saying i'll meal plan, and i did try when OH first moved in but we a/ couldn't think of things to eat without repeating everything every week, b/ never kept to it cos OH either picked something up, i was tired and cheated or we just didn't fancy it. I'm so useless sometimes.

I am useless at cooking if I don't have a piece of paper telling me what to cook hence the menu planner! Do whatever works for you

This year my menus for the week are scribbled in coloured pens a la cheery for added motivation

Lemon_Tree

that's a good idea, cheery colours become cheery meals

Lemon_Tree

ummm not quite sure.

still waiting for OH to get out of bed, think it's time to go and get dressed and be the mean person so wake him up.
