Frozen Pizza

After the title, some of you are wondering why I'm even bothering to post because this meal is a no brainer- most people I know have a frozen pizza night. Well I'm posting for two reasons. One, because I'm going to try my best to be committed to posting EVERY supper for awhile for my own benefit- I'd like to see what I feed my family over a longish period of time. Two, because it gives me an opportunity to mention something I love- a meal rotation. I have found that it simplifies life TREMENDOUSLY to have certain nights that are always the same. It may sound boring, but it makes the planning process so much easier! Saturday night is frozen pizza night because I want the focus on the evening to be making sure we are prepared for Sunday. As many of you know, getting everyone bathed, nails clipped, diaper bags packed, clothes ready- not to mention the home calm and hearts prepared- for Sabbath rest and worship is a HUGE task. I don't want to make it harder by cooking and having a big clean up as well. So frozen pizza on paper plates it is! For a long time this is what our rotation looked like:

Monday- something super easy like hot dogs or chicken patty sandwiches
Tuesday- something new
Wednesday- spaghetti
Thursday- breakfast
Friday- something new
Saturday- frozen pizza
Sunday- soup

Now I've kind of gotten away from that, but I'd like to come up with a schedule again. The "something new" nights were the times when I'd search my cookbooks and try different things. I used to plan for two weeks of meals at a time. Pete would go to Sam's and Walmart every other week and then we'd shop at the grocery store in town in between. Recently we decided that because our family has grown and we go through everything faster, it is better if he goes every week. It's kind of a bummer because then he's never home for dinner on Monday nights, but since he's going often, he's in and out really quickly. For those of you who wonder why he goes and not me (because that's a woman's job, right?), it's because we live in a small town and those two stores are on his way home. He commutes 45 minutes each way and it just makes more sense for him to handle it. I'm thankful that he's willing because all those bulk packages of diapers and paper towels and ketchup get really heavy!
So, enough about our grocery schedule and back to meal planning! As I said, I need to work on a new rotation, but haven't quite decided what I want to include. I'd like to have a stir fry night, but Pete would prefer that to be an every other week thing. I also need to try harder to have crock pot meals on Thursdays because Peter has piano at 4 and by the time I get home, the baby needs to nurse and everyone is crabby and ready for dinner. So, I'm interested to know, do any of you have a meal rotation and if so, what is it? I'll probably stick with breakfast and frozen pizza and pasta. Other than that I need to think about it. So I'd love to get ideas from you as well!
