    Hello Jen, I hope you are having a relaxing start to your weekend. This meal planning course is genius! I work with young adults, specifically international college and university students, who have not been taught the very valuable skills of grocery shopping, meal planning and cooking. I can't tell you how often they complain about the expense of having to buy takeout meals because they wouldn't know where to start planning meals and using a few recipes to keep them on a food budget. This course isn't only helpful to young adults , but to everyone who would like to prepare better than takeout meals and do so in spite of inflated grocery prices. Good luck ! Margaret

    I like to do a monthly meal plan, by the way. Doing weekly has made it way too easy to deviate than monthly. I don't adhere to it 100% (I move meals around or we eat out instead sometimes), but it's been easier to stick to that than a weekly one.

    We do "theme nights" for some days. It does help with planning, but we started it because my son with autism needed the routine. We have 4 kids and both work full-time, though I do work from home, which helps.
    Mondays - Doesn't have a theme, but I usually make something in the crockpot or something really easy because they're busy days for me. I haven't thought of a clever name for it yet. Lol. Tomorrow, I'm making a roast with vegetables kit that was on sale at Walmart with some Walmart bakery croissants.
    Tuesdays - "Taco Tuesday" (tacos, taco soup, quesadillas, nachos, taco salad, or something similar). For this coming Tuesday, I've planned taco soup with Fritos. I made chicken quesadillas last week with chips and salsa on the side.
    Wednesdays - It doesn't have a set theme yet. We consider it a random night because it could be anything, but I do make breakfast this night a lot when I can't otherwise figure it out. I might steal your "waffle Wednesday" theme. Lol.
    Thursdays - "spaghetti Thursday" (some kind of pasta, like spaghetti, ravioli, Alfredo, hamburger helper, even chicken noodle soup, etc.) This Thursday, I'm making a frozen lasagna and garlic bread because it's our anniversary and I won't want to really cook. We're going away the following weekend and can go out then.
    Friday - "fast food Friday" (some kind of takeout, it's my day off from cooking dinner).
    Saturday - "pizza Saturday". No alliteration there. Lol.
    Sunday - sort of themed. I usually do a traditional-ish Sunday dinner type thing (a ham, roast, rotisserie chicken, chicken and dumplings, or something similar) or "sandwich Sunday" or "soup Sunday". Today, I'm making grilled ham and cheese on brioche bread.
