My food obsession

As some of you know, I love to eat - not so much cook as eat, but one has to lead to the other. The task of feeding my family lies solely on my shoulders and there are a lot of things I like about it, but the things I dislike the most are: 1. figuring out what we're going to eat and then 2. going to the grocery store to get it. Bryce makes both issues increasingly difficult because his main courses are PB&J, plain pasta or nuggets, and I also dislike taking both him and Austin to the store - for obvious reasons. I can't do much about problem #2, but for a couple years now I've had a rotating meal calendar. I have to redo it as I find new recipes and as the seasons change, but I love being able to look at my week and know what to buy and what we're eating. I plan once and enjoy it for weeks. I haven't had a decent meal calendar since Austin was born - I made one up for the winter only to discover a week later that Austin didn't appreciate my love of dairy. So for the most part my plan is dairy free with only a couple exceptions. When I started my calendar I wasn't sure it would work. Here were some of my concerns and how I resolved them.
At first I was worried a meal calendar would be very restricting - what if I found a recipe I wanted to try, or we were in the mood for something else, but if I want something else, I just make it.
Also, my sister-in-law Jennie, who I love to pieces, can't believe I cook every night. You'll notice I have no night indicated for left overs. But let me explain- we rarely have left overs. I've been cooking for 2 for 7+ years and pretty much know how much to make for us, and I don't make extra because then I'm either tempted to eat more at dinner or it goes to waste. If there are good leftovers, I usually have them for lunch.
You'll notice I have 7 meals for 6 weeks listed. But the list is grouped like, Chicken - Grill - Sandwiches - stuff with rice - Fish Etc., not by days of the week. And the 7 meals will usually last us more like 9 days because I don't cook every night, we go out or to friends or have cereal for dinner! So really this is like an 7 week calendar!
This is for main daily meals only. Breakfast and lunch are not structured like this - cereal, french toast, Krusteaz pancakes, Healthy Choice, sandwiches, salads etc. Desserts and snacks are also not included in my list.
And the last thing - I try to make balanced meals, but sometimes the salad doesn't get made, or the fruit doesn't get cut... oh well! I'd love feed back on what you do in your family, how nuts you think I am or any dairy free recipe suggestions you have! If you see something that sounds good, let me know and I'll try to get you the recipe!
