It’s Anti-Procrastination Tuesday time. Time to get a hold of whatever task you need to tackle and tackle it! Just fight through and get it done.

For me it’s making a big ol’ menu plan. Not weekly, but monthly. We don’t eat out anymore due to food allergies (And if you stop eating out you’ll notice that eating out just isn’t the same if you try and do it again. The food doesn’t taste as good as homemade. You become more sensitive to any additives, etc.) so we really vary our dinner menus.

I’m also not one to stick to one source for recipe ideas. These are my main go to sources for meal ideas and recipes.

• Taste of Home (number one right now) (link to last night’s dinner)
• Saving Dinner (number two right now)
• America’s Test Kitchen (to ge the cooking method down right)
• The Web  (for that recipe I just can’t find).

When I’m being smart I put it all in my recipe software, Shop’NCook (Which I’m opening now because I forgot to add tonight’s dinner to it) because I can make a nice menu plan and keep track of how my family is eating. Then at the end of a month I have a whole month of good menu ideas and I don’t have to start from scratch again each week. Although that is sometimes fun it’s nicer, more efficient, money savvy, and a just a good idea to have a month to look at.

This is where I fail.  I’m severely delinquent in adding recipes to the software. Breakfast and dinner. One of my lingering projects has been to keep an accurate account of what we are eating. There are certain recipes we really like to revisit and if I would just keep track it would be a lot easier.

So my anti-procrastination is to add last night’s’ dinner to my software, make a note in my-to-do list to to do this each night. Make a print out in february.

This includes breakfast.
