It used to be that upon hearing that phrase, I’d used to break out into a cold sweat. For the simple reason that I usually had no idea. In recent years, I’ve become much, much better about menu planning and grocery shopping… and the result is that now I can usually answer that question within seconds, along with what’s for lunch and breakfast and what snacks we have on hand. And if I can’t answer it off the top of my head, I refer to my pretty little “EAT” notepad on the side of the fridge, and my memory is refreshed. Note that I said usually. Because, as good as I may be… I still have days—or weeks—where I’m scrambling and looking for last minute menu ideas.
