I understand, this is my biggest struggle, is not taking to much stuff! After 8 1/2 years, I still struggle with this!JAE said:Oh my. I'll have to find this later and read it. I always, always take too much stuff. Tuesday night I took the App. Plates and Caddy set, 2 trifle bowls (one full of decorations), rectangle platter, small bowls and caddy, 9x13 baker with brownie in it, small batter bowl with layered brownie mix (sold two), classic batter bowl filled with baking stuff (from the mini catalog, sold two), SA small square plate, oven mits, placemat and napkin and napkin holder, large round stone with handles, cutting board (sold at least twp), FC 3 1/2" paring knife, measure-all, two 8" saute pans, EAD (used it and sold two), RUFTH trivet (sold two to one lady), four host packets (12 catalogs just with those), 15 catalogs and order forms, all the cookbooks and my laptop. I knew it was bad, but after typing all of this, I absolutely can't believe I did that! One December booking and one November booking. Only came home with 3 order forms, and 9 catalogs, and two host packets (with 6 catalogs). It was still ridiculous on the way out. I had three helpers getting the stuff to the car.

One easy way to save time on weeknight meals is to plan ahead. Take some time over the weekend to plan out your meals for the week and do any necessary prep work, such as chopping vegetables or marinating meat. This will save you time and stress during the busy weeknights.
Some quick and easy meal ideas for busy weeknights include sheet pan dinners, one pot meals, and stir-fries. These types of meals require minimal prep and clean up, making them perfect for hectic weeknights.
To make mealtime less stressful, try involving your family in meal prep and clean up. This can help lighten the load and make mealtime more enjoyable. You can also try batch cooking, where you prepare multiple meals at once and freeze them for later use.
One way to simplify grocery shopping is to make a list before you go. This will help you stay organized and stick to a budget. You can also try shopping online and having your groceries delivered, or use a meal delivery service that provides pre-portioned ingredients for easy meal prep.
To incorporate healthier options into your weeknight meals, try adding more vegetables to your dishes or swapping out processed ingredients for whole foods. You can also experiment with different cooking methods, such as grilling or roasting, to add flavor without adding extra calories.
