Meal Planning

Every Saturday, I force myself to sit down and plan out our weekly meals.  Not because I love being Type A, but because I flat-out refuse to go to the grocery store during the week.  So I make a meal plan, make my grocery list, and head out to shop.  But, I often find myself in a food rut, with no idea what to plan for weekly meals.  So, I thought I'd start keeping a log of my ideas.  And I thought I'd share them with you; maybe you'll be able to steal some inspiration, too?  And hey, if you come up with ideas for me, pleeeeease share them!
