Part of my new meal plan is scheduling salad. Believe it or not, my mind doesn't generally think of salad when it is thinking of side dishes. French fries? Sidekicks? Whipped potatoes? Those things I can think of no problem. But salad I have to schedule.
Along with scheduling salad, I also have to remember to wash my lettuce/spinach on the day I buy it, or it is pretty much a guarantee that I will not eat it. Cutting up vegetables for a salad is hard enough, so I become a whiny little girl if it is almost dinner time and I have to wash lettuce too. "Aw, do I have to?" Most likely I will just skip the salad if it is not easy to make. I learned long ago to wash lettuce the day I get it, and it will always be ready to just mix and serve. No whiny me needed!
I used to store the lettuce/spinach in large Ziplocs, but recently picked up some plastic containers and they are just perfect.
Yay salad!!

Sadly, no one in my house will eat salad. I'm trying to figure out how to have lettuce without it going all slimy and gross by the end of the week. :\ How's the rest of the meal planning going?
ReplyDeleteMeal planning is going great! It is really great not having to think about dinner. I will post a follow up blog sometime soon. :)
