I make my Soldier's breakfast and lunch each morning and figuring out 'what to fix today'
drove me nuts until I came up with this little diagram...
(It's in a sheet protector taped on the inside of the bread cupboard door!)
Now mornings are less stressful and I know he's not eating the same thing each day!

For dinners, I plan a menu each week or 2 before I grocery shop.
I just pick menu items from the daily categories and voila! Less stress!
I can print out a new menu every 3 months or so if he gets sick of this... we'll see how long it lasts! I'm thinking a new menu for Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter?
What things do you put in your luch box?
