I have the perfect weekday dinner solution — the book “Saving Dinner” which is awesome for providing a week’s worth of menus and the shopping list to go with (including side dish suggestions).

I’ve used this religiously in the past and it was the only time that we ate well consistently and without the stress of figuring out what’s for dinner for weeks on end. As soon as school starts and this move is over, I’ll be using the book again – or the “menu mailer” options on the savingdinner.com website.

Once we calculated that in the same amount of time we could cook a Papa Murphy’s pizza (a frequent stand-by), we could cook a salmon dinner, and for the same price. Much healthier, no more $$.

Now if we would only remember to do it.
