How do you preplan your meals?

One of my new year's resolutions for 2008 is to get in the habit of pre planning my meals each week - not just for my personal nutrition, but to make it easier to feed my family (have fewer "I have nothing to make for dinner, let's go out tonight" moments).

How do you plan your meals for simplicity and variety? How do you factor in spontaneity?

Currently, I do plan on pre-packaging my meals into steam fresh bags and freezing them - meat, veggies and seasonings together. I'll just steam a bag for each person per meal that I am feeding. This seems simple enough with standard chicken and fish, even some beef.

Though I occasionally like to cook, doing big batch cooking is NOT something I want to get into - I get lost in details of big planning like that and actually have a pretty short attention span, which results in a job half done.

Have any of you used the Ziplock or other microwave steamer bags? What spice combinations have you found work really well?

God Bless,
mik

I don't have a family and kids to feed, so I dunno how this would go over... I think keeping the foods simple--single ingredients, except for seasonings--would help out a lot.

I do not own a microwave ad cant stand anything steamed so that would leave that option out for me...

I preplan all my meals -and have awhite board on my fridge to tell me what my meals will be...

I spend about 30 minutes on saturday am - compiling a sort of grocery list - of what I sort of wat to have during the week... Whe I'm at the store if somethig catches my eye or is on sale... I'll make adjustments in my notes..

I will package things together in the fridge, ad do a lot of veggie cut ups at the same time when I get home froom the grocery store ad store things in ziplock containers labelled...

I simply create spreadsheets with a bunch of meals planned out on them. Each meal is broken out by calories, protein, fats, carbs, etc.

At the beginning of each week I decide which meals I want to include.

In terms of spontaneity, if I want something, I eat it.
