I love me a list! I have lists for everything from cleaning, to medical, to blog post ideas, to... yep, you guessed it... to food lists! Why? Well allow me to explain why I love lists so much :)
1. Lists offer me a quick and easy way to get a meal on the table as it helps with decision making. I simply look at a list, pick something and cook it - quick and easy :)
2. Lists are very helpful when it comes to meal planning, making it easy to do. Just pick the 7 dinners you want to eat for the week and head off to the grocery store.
3. Lists break you out of a rut and helps you try new things and keeps you from eating the same old thing all the time.
4. Lists help as memory aids and jogs - meaning it helps get the creative juices flowing.
5. Lists can work as communication tools and aids in the event someone other than yourself needs to cook meals for you and your family. They can simply look at your lists and pick something from it and feel confident your family will enjoy it.
6. Lists help clarify things in a very clear and structured way for me. This means I don't ever have to wonder if something is a side veggie or a main dish veggie because my list will tell me.
7. And finally my lists keep me organized. I keep a calendar with my lists so when I go to meal plan I can scroll through my lists and write the meal ideas onto the calendar. Now I know what I am having for the entire month with little to no effort.
So if you haven't gathered I really do love lists and that is what I plan to bring to you over the course of the next few months or maybe even years (ha ha ha) but like I said I love me a list 😁
