Hi, Hi Lakshmi, I am working, and i do not like to prepare foods in advance and storing in Fridge. Sometimes i cut veg in night and cook in the morning. I cook one main meal and side dish in the morning and pack the same for lunch and in the evening by 7.30 only i will return from office after that i will prepare for dinner. Hence i cook twice and in the night after dinner is over i wash the dishwares and clean the kitchen for next day cooking. I have also downloaded the Weekly meal planner from this thread and added the same type of format for 4 weeks in the same file, this gives me a quick look of old menus, so that i will not repeat it and i will be able to plan menus in advance. And in future i will refer if i run out of ideas for dinner or break fast:drowning. Weekly meal planner is helpful in cooking different varieties for my family.:cheers Happy Cooking! Magee
