our list.

Last night Danny & I spent the evening in the company of our uncle, aunt, and cousins. I was with our Aunt in the kitchen, preparing dinner and dessert when we got on the topic of meal planning.

My favorite!

She showed me her secret tool. You know, for those days when the inspiration is running dry and you have no idea what to cook for dinner.

It was so simple. A list in the cupboard with all of her family's favorite meals. That's it.

Why hadn't I thought of that?!

So, for now, here is my list. I am sure it will grow, but I feel like I am off to a good start.
