Recipe Binder Routine That Saves My Sanity
Each Thursday, my husband and I sit down and flip through our recipe binder, which is sorted by meal type (breakfast, dessert, chicken, fish, beef, etc.). We pick three recipes for the week—usually for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
We use leftovers for Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and treat ourselves to takeout on Sunday.
Once we’ve chosen our meals, my husband makes the grocery list and shops on Friday.
The night before a cooking day, I prep ingredients and thaw any meats.
In the morning before work, I dump everything into the slow cooker, set the timer, and go. Dinner is ready when I get home, leaving me more time with my toddler and less time stressing in the kitchen.
