Although we didn't participate in what looks like a fun job of delivering pizzas in Paris, I am now in a position to need to start planning dinner menus again before we end up ordering out not because we don't have the food, but because I haven't been well organized. This week I only have ideas for meals, but don't have a set schedule on which days I plan on serving them. Perhaps this may be a bad idea, but I don't always know what my next week's schedule is going to look like.

5-day Menu Planning

• Mexican-style couscous with cornbread and beans
• Burritos with a dessert of sorbet
• Pizza with a homemade crust
• Egg salad sandwiches with our French mustard (if my house guests don't eat up all my eggs)
• Baked Potatoes with loads of toppings

Last time I planned a week of meals, the entire thing was a wash. If I'm lucky, I'll get free again! Or, at the very least, I will have proven that I can create a decent plan and stick to it.
