Doesn’t that Jello salad look yummy?
Today we’re going to learn how to use the index system to make Jello salad.

But we are talking about meal planning. There are two ways you can plan your meals:
- Create a card where you list the type of meal you’ll eat on certain days of the week. For example, Monday can be chicken, Tuesday is pasta, Wednesday is for leftovers, etc.
- Each week write down a specific meal using choices from your file of recipe cards.
I usually do option #2. After deciding what I want to eat for the week, I’ll check my pantry and fridge for what I don’t have and create a shopping list. I used to never plan meals, but after I looked at how much we were spending on eating out each month, I quickly changed.
We are almost done with our Sidetracked Home Executives series, only one post left. On Friday, we’ll discuss being “all dressed up with a dirty neck,” a term coined by Peggy and Pam, the authors of Sidetracked Home Executives.
