In reply to Kelly Deneen. You might have a few more years before your kids are truly helping, but it is never too early yo have your kids working along side you. By the time they are ready for some independent "work" it will be simple to teach the, because they've watched and learned all along.

Planning ahead is SO good. I do much better when I plan and shop for the week since we normally do our grocery shopping on Sundays.

So…how old do the kids need to be to really help? :) My oldest is almost 5, and I let her “help” whenever I can.

In reply to Pam. I feel like I should start up a weekly meal planning post. It sounds like many people need that extra little kick to make it happen.

In reply to Beeb Ashcroft. Totally! I would enjoy cooking much more if that's all I had to do. It's all those other distractions that make cooking so hard!

In reply to Henrietta. I just hate the what's for dinner rut! Even so, I can't figure out why it's so hard to stick with the meal planning routine.

That is my downfall- not preparing my meals in advance. I appreciate the tips because I need all the help I can get!

These are all good tips – I don’t have a big family, so I can only imagine – getting dinner ready for just 2 is bad enough! (And I love to cook too, I just wish I had more time in each day! LOL!)
