I do my best to plan our meals ahead of time so there is no real thought process involved on a day-to-day basis. That being said there are days that my plans fall apart because I didn't take a chicken out in time or I was just busy and didn't stop to look at my plan. Last night for instance - I planned to cook a whole chicken in the crockpot. The plan was to put it in around noon. Well, 2 o'clock rolled around and it wasn't in yet. I rushed to get it in only to discover it was still frozen. ARGH! It wouldn't be done in time for dinner so I put it back in the fridge for tonight and did a quick inventory to see what I could pull off easily here at home. I found plain bagels in the freezer - perfect! We had bagel pizzas and fruit for dinner. The best part? I didn't spend anything extra to make it and even better was that we didn't go out to eat!
What are some of your "always have on hand" back ups for planning failures? Ours tend to be breakfast for dinner, grilled cheese and soup or everyone fend for yourself. I need to have more on hand in the coming weeks as our schedules gets a bit hectic with dance and brownies. I'd love to hear your ideas!
