some good, some bad.

like, not folding laundry fresh out of the dryer

then having to iron every damn thing.

bad.

planning weekly meals is one of the few that falls in the good bucket.

may very well be my only good habit.

we plan our meals for the week

and only buy what we need for those meals.

in january, i made a list of nearly 30 meals to choose from.

we're off to a good start.

to minimize weekday morning prep time

i like to make a batch of meals on sunday night.

this chili has been my go to.

it's enough for five days of healthy servings

for two people.

thought i would share.

i found it here on pinterest and made some slight adjustments.

enjoy!
