I think one reason we struggle with the question of what’s for dinner is because the planning part of meal time notoriously falls on us women. Just when I plan something he will say “hey let’s have sloppy Joe’s. Without having planned this I have to scamper around looking in the pantry, refrigerator, and freezer to find proper ingredients. And wonder if he will settle on bread because we are all out of buns
Exactly! I also need to plan which meat I’ll use because we buy directly from the farmer. His beef, pork & chicken are fantastic but it’s frozen rock hard when we buy it & bring it home. It’s loaded in a freezer in the basement, so I need to plan 1-2 days ahead. I have fibromyalgia & stairs have been very hard for me lately. I need to rely on my husband or 2 teens to bring meat up. Occasionally I will let them pick. It can be great or awful! Awful is a roast that’s too large for the quick cooker & one of the kids wants it tonight! Great is having all the right ingredients for whatever comes up! I love the garlic seasoning on a roast. The kids want me to try “something Asian.” Good thing I have the Pampered Chef seasonings in the pantry.
I needed chores for the youngest of kids and would have them pic out a veggie for dinner time we ate peas for many nights but they felt like they were doing a chore
