GOOD RIDDANCE 2020! I think a lot of us will be happy to leave 2020 behind. I just hope 2021 doesn’t throw us some curve balls too. There have been some advantages to 2020 – for me, working from home has been really nice. It wasn’t at first. It took some learning and some negotiation with myself, but overall, it’s been a really positive thing for me. I don’t know when I’ll be going back INTO the office, but it won’t be until at least this summer.
Working from home has simplified dinner prep for me. It’s very easy to start the slow cooker at 2:00 in the afternoon when you’re already home. It’s easy to use your lunch hour to make a quick trip to the grocery store since you’re heading right back home. It’s just simplified things for me.
But a menu plan is still key to my sanity. I’ve been doing one for 10 years. On the occasions when I don’t do a menu plan, I just feel more stress. More frustrated. And I spend more money as I’m not smart with my grocery budget. Making a menu plan is 1000% worth it for me. Want a menu plan that’s even more simple? AND includes a shopping list?
