And I keep frozen corn dogs and chicken patties/nuggets on hand for those nights that I get home late or just plain don't feel like putting together a meal.<br /><br />I'm not telling my hubby about your Pizza Fridays, though. He loves pizza more than anyone I know and I am not so good at the crust! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861833534373968679.post-48428984871386530522009-05-06T23:02:00.000-05:002009-05-06T23:02:00.000-05:00there is wisdom in planning ahead for the busy nig...there is wisdom in planning ahead for the busy nights... cooking up a double batch of something and having it in the freezer ready to heat and eat ... congratulations on not eating out.

I haven't tried that, but it would just be so much easier mentally.<br /><br />Just planning the meals helps me stay on track better and eat out less.

I just now have to remember to say to my preschooler, "Oh well, I'm sorry you don't like the chicken -- lucky for you that we are having pasta tomorrow night).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861833534373968679.post-38668218314213136202009-05-06T10:19:00.000-05:002009-05-06T10:19:00.000-05:00We did Taco Tuesdays too for a long time.

Now we had to change that to Mexican Monday for a variety of reasons, but if you need any frugal Mexican recipes let me know--I've got quite a few.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16177109520220151011noreply@blogger.com
