I started using a meal planning website to organize nightly dinners and create grocery shopping lists for us- it's been a life saver. Every Thursday I get an e-mail telling me the new menu's are available, I pick 5-7 dinners (depending on our schedule that week) and it scales them to our portion size, creates a grocery shopping list, and prints each recipe out. Total no brainer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-annoying-thing#post-62920 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:41:48 +0000 BabyLove 62920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's annoying to me too. I continually ask my husband to just figure it out what we'll eat and then make it. Just a couple of times. Ugh. I'm just so bored sometimes with dinner ideas. And, I'd rather play with LO than cook!</p> <p>I'd like to be one of those people that can cook on Sunday to provide meals for everyday of the week. Yea, right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-annoying-thing#post-62907 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:30:48 +0000 StbHisMrs 62907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a couple go to blogs with quick/easy/yummy recipes but I still feel unorganized and hurried to think of something after work. So annoying!</p> <p>I follow -<br /> The Pioneer Woman<br /> Picky Palate (my go to)<br /> Bitchin' Camaro<br /> Elana's Pantry<br /> Three Many Cooks (not so easy and quick, but very yummy)<br /> Gina's Skinny Recipes</p> <p>@ cyneswith I NEED to make a menu 6 months out, that is impressive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-annoying-thing#post-62586 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 10:55:23 +0000 cyneswith 62586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ALittleP: Made a blank calendar in PowerPoint, figured out how many times a week I wanted meat, fish, or veggies, and filled out every day with the appropriate category. Varied cooking styles and difficulties in each week/month, with at least one "I don't wanna cook!" meal thrown in each week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-annoying-thing#post-62309 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:15:57 +0000 Boogs 62309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyneswith: I need to learn more about how you do that! I really need to get better about pre-planning my meals so I don't have to run to the grocery store so often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-annoying-thing#post-62258 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:47:01 +0000 ALittleP 62258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyneswith: That's brilliant! How did you plan your meals 6 months out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-annoying-thing#post-62231 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 15:37:27 +0000 Boogs 62231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm always in the same boat! I really don't mind cooking, it's the figuring out what to cook that gets me every time! I have a Pinterest board with some go-to recipes, but I like to switch things up so we don't get bored. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-annoying-thing#post-62099 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 08:24:23 +0000 heffalump 62099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go out a lot because my head hurts too much to cook. We can never decide ob a restaurant, so we've also made a list of fast, easy restaurants around here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-annoying-thing#post-62080 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 08:00:47 +0000 Clementine 62080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess my only gripe about menus is that I keep making the same things even on rotation, so after awhile it gets boring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-annoying-thing#post-62077 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 07:56:26 +0000 chopsuey 62077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Usually I'll cut up chicken and bake it in the toaster oven. :P It's quick and easy. Gone are the days of really nice meals for dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-annoying-thing#post-62056 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 02:07:51 +0000 tequiero21 62056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup! ugh. especially since we're trying to cut down on eating out. i've made a calendar and try not to repeat an item each month. and i'll try to recycle the month's schedule to the next. i've doubled up on some meals (like spaghetti)...lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-annoying-thing#post-62055 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 01:31:28 +0000 redboots 62055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, now I know how my mom felt growing up. She used to always ask us what we want and we would always be so annoyed and tell her to make whatever. I need to make a menu so that it doesnt stress me out so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-annoying-thing#post-62049 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 00:28:03 +0000 cyneswith 62049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a weekday menu for about 6 months out. I just open my meal calendar and make my grocery list each week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-annoying-thing#post-62045 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 23:54:16 +0000 BoogieBea 62045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I end up making the same rotation of meals very week. Boring, yes! But it's so difficult coming up with dinner ideas that are quick, easy, healthy and tasty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-annoying-thing#post-62016 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 22:17:02 +0000 lilteacherbee 62016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fortunately, I don't have to think about this! DH LOVES to cook, so that's his job. I hate cooking because I'm terrified of burning/cutting myself and I hate dealing with raw meat. So DH cooks and I wash the dishes! So thankful for that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-annoying-thing#post-62014 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 22:02:18 +0000 betsyboop 62014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyday! Fortunately there aren't many good delivery options so I'm forced to figure something out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-annoying-thing#post-62003 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 21:34:36 +0000 MsMini 62003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a constant battle with us, I try to plan ahead, but we inevitably end up sitting on the couch trying to figure out what to make after work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-annoying-thing#post-62001 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 21:32:58 +0000 Rubies 62001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! 50% of the time I'll whip something plain and boring and the other 50% of the time I'll call the hubs at work and say, "I'm tired. You think of something for dinner." :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-annoying-thing#post-61999 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 21:31:16 +0000 Andrea 61999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES. I hate thinking about it. I have a list, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-annoying-thing#post-61995 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 21:16:32 +0000 Clementine 61995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>at least for me is thinking about what we are going to eat for dinner. It's gotten to a point, where I am really sick of thinking about this that I created Google doc with all the things I know how to make, but I still am bored endlessly by this question.</p> <p>Anyone with me on this? </p>
