What took me SO long

to figure this out?!!!…..  I have had a love/ hate  relationship with this kitchen o’ mine for months and months now. Mostly because Gavin and I wake up around 3:30 or 4, play a bit, and then before I know it, we’re both starving and cranky and I have no idea what to make for dinner. Spencer’s tours are usually over around 6, so I wait to call him on his way home to ask if he has any brilliant ideas, or if he feels like picking up Take out:). But take out in nosara means 2 things. Pizza or pizza. So that can be fun every once in awhile but for the most part- Mama needs to snap out of it and have something ready for dinner at least a couple nights a week!! Soooo….read below for me new game plan!

Sunday: Pick out 4 or 5 dinners (recipes that are relatively easy). Make a list of food that I will need for these dinners, but then also food I will need for other meals and snacks. (AKA: A grocery list!) OMG…writing this I sound crazy! I can’t believe it took me until I’m 31 with a toddler, a husband and a baby on the way to figure this out.

Monday: The fruit and veggie truck comes by my house around noon and then I can load up on all the necessities for this veggie family. While gavin is napping, I will go to the store and get everything I else on my list.

Tuesday-Friday: Each day I will pick out one of the dinner recipes. Then,  I will have my incredible babysitter help me out by chopping and prepping the necessary veggies for the dinner. That way at 5 PM when it’s time to start dinner, is all I have to do is get the prepped veggies out of the fridge and put them all together into whatever I’m making.

I’m so excited about my new plan….now let’s just hope it works!:)
