Last night we went out for dinner, and planned the next week's menus, roughly. We then turned this into a shopping list. This worked pretty well so far.

Tonight : roast beef hash, to use up last week's pot roast.
Thursday : turkey breast
Friday : sandwich night (Ula out of town)
Saturday : no dinner at home, doing other stuff
Sunday : stroganoff
Monday : broiled chicken
Tuesday : oven fried chicken

Eventually I'd like to get into more of a rhythm -- it's efficient to have things like Meatloaf Night once a week, or Leftover Night.

This process made it abundantly clear that N doesn't like vegetables any more than I do, and she doesn't have the deep reserve of stoicism that makes me eat them anyway. Broccoli, carrots, and salads are about all she'll do. She has a particular dislike of steamed veggies. I guess we'll just have to trial-and-error our way through a cookbook.
