To end mealtime boredom this is what I do - calendars. Calendars, you say? Yes, I print out a blank calendar every month from this site (I use the monthly vertical ones) and write down what meals I make every day. I only write down supper so that's how it fits in that little space. :) That way I can say, oh, we haven't had salmon in a couple weeks, let's do it again. This helps so much when I plan my meals for the week. I also make small notes such as "the boys loved this" or "not a big hit" so I will remember. I staple the calendars together and keep them with my recipes. I can look back at October 2006 to find recipes that fit with the season. This works especially well in the summer when I don't want to turn on the oven and I'm trying to remember what I can make that is summery.
