I know some people have scheduled days for certain type of foods.

Would love some ideas of schedules like this. Would work well for me to be consistent and have some basic schedule to follow.

For example like I remember reading chopper meat on Mondays, chicken on Wednesdays, dairy on whatever day , etc

Sunday is leftovers or bbq in season

I cook dinner for Monday with leftovers on Tuesday. Fish, hotdogs, chili, whatever was on sale the week before.

Wednesday Dh has an appt after work and gets his own dinner.
Thursday we do Happy Hour which means I make an appetizer and we have frozen pizza. And drink Truly.

Sundays - We do steak or beef tacos; something that everybody loves and on a day when everyone is around at the same time. With fresh salad and potatoes. We use proper dishes and the dishwasher.

Mondays - Usually chicken legs and rice in the oven that I set to cook before I leave for work. Cut veggies and dip.

Tuesdays - Dairy pasta with something like a Greek feta salad.

Wednesdays - Something quick in warm bread like shwarma in laffa or shnitzel in baguettes. With all the fixins.

Thursdays - Something that I don't have to cook like huge plates of cubed deli over salad, or hot dogs & corn salad.
