Dh and I plan a weekly menu together. He does most of the cooking and I do most of the shopping, so we plan together.

Usually we have some sort of fish on Mondays b/c I shop on the weekends and we want to use it up while it's fresh. For that I buy whatever's on sale and dh will find a recipe online for it.

We do one vegetarian meal a week, too, at least. I have a couple Moosewood cookbooks we use for that and also the old standby of "bow ties and white sauce" with broccoli. (That is dd1's fave meal).

After that we'll fill in the week according to our schedule, using recipes we find interesting, whatever's in the freezer, and/or easily made standbys.

Then I take the list and go shopping. Our menus are posted on the fridge. Dh takes the leftovers for lunch.
