Delicious Dinner Ideas

Happy Monday!  I hope you are doing well this week!  Life is full of ups and downs isn't it?  I'm learning to just take things a day at a time, and really try not to worry about the future, so I don't miss today.
As far as "ups" go, I bought a dress this weekend for my son's wedding, and I bought it online... without trying it on... Am I crazy???  I guess that remains to be seen till after it arrives, and I try it on.  I've been so lazy as far as shopping lately, at least for anything besides food, and if I could shop for that online, I probably would!  It's just so convenient to shop online, sometimes too convenient...just click, and voila, it's on it's way to my house! I think it's the ultimate instant gratification.  Can you relate?
Meal planning does help make grocery shopping more efficient though, since you know what meals you're making, and therefore all the ingredients you need.  I always group my grocery shopping list by sections of the store, like produce, canned, frozen, meats, dairy, household and health & beauty.  It helps me get in and out so much more quickly!
