Menu planning saves me time.

What We Ate Saturday My friend Mia and I cooked together; she made some fried plantains, and I made chorizo and potato tostadas, topped with cilantro, queso fresco, and Mexican crema.

I admit to completely dropping the ball with menu planning. I think I only wrote out a weekly menu twice in those two months. So, as you can imagine, things were even crazier due to my lack of planning. Here are a few of the things I noticed happening when I didn’t plan out our meals: We shopped more often.
