Riot and Frolic

This is not a post about meal planning.  It's a post about not meal planning.

Despite my good intentions and a chalkboard clearly labeled "MENU", I have purged my meal-planning diet and fallen into a nasty "what the heeeelll is in this here kitchen?" habit at meal times.  

Then that stupid Pinterest website shows me all these nifty things I could try and since it's nearly winter where the sun sets at 2pm, what else am I going to do?

Here's my proposed trials for the next couple weeks:

The Shrinking Kitchen has menu plans (with included shopping lists- wha?!- for free).  They have meals with ingredients I actually like to eat, too, not some over-fattening, cream cheese-based-everything casserole-glop.  Gingery Pork Lettuce Wraps?  OKAY.  Plus, I love her writing.

but i like my butt!

A Turtle's Life for Me did a great piece on how she cooks for the entire summer in one afternoon.  Who doesn't want to do that?  She breaks down her timeline and makes it sound über-easy.  I won't have to cook again for THREE MONTHS, you guys.

it's so simple

Do you guys plan your meals?  What are some favorite recipes?  Ever try the freezer-prep method?  Tell me!
