my life: meal planning

Assalamu alaikom and peace to you all!
Today being Sunday, I naturally wander to that place in mind called "What's For Dinner". Yes, there's a whole section in my head for this. It has to be there. I have hungry tummies to feed, masha'Allah, and I better not drop the ball! Years of experience have finally brought me to a very comfortable place where meal planning is no longer maddening. After reading countless blogs, website, and talking to friends about it, I've come to terms with this daunting part of my job. Basically, I have collected 30 main dish recipes that we all love to have for dinner. Well, it's almost at 30, I'm not far off and it takes a special meal to please all of us! So all of these meals have earned a spot in my card box. I've laminated them. Unsuccessfully. What? I used those laminating pages you buy at the office supply stores, but they peeled back and came off the next day!!! Ok, so now I have almost 30 sticky recipe cards, but they are THE top recipes in my life,right? So all i have to do is pick out about 4 or 5 cards that look good for the upcoming week and make sure I've got all the ingredients necessary. Voila. We do our grocery shopping on the weekend (Costco, Safeway, Halal butcher) I cook whichever one I want whenever it is convenient for me. Problem solved! This system has seriously worked wonders for me~ thanks to the ladies at http://littlenannygoat.blogspot.com/2009/05/what-heck-it-30-meal-plan.html
