Menu Planning may sound like a lot of work, but it's actually one of the laziest things I've ever done. Since I started planning our meals for the week (and eventually the month) I've noticed some improvements in the way we eat and in the way I shop. Knowing what's for dinner not only saves time, it saves money and helps us eat healthier as well.
By planning out the week's meals I can make a more effective list for the grocery store and purchase only those items that we will need for the week. I make fewer impulse and duplicate purchases, and have practically eliminated the mid-week run to the grocery store—not to mention those impromptu take-out nights.
And if you display your menu where the family will see it, you'll never hear the words, "Mom, what's for dinner?" again!

Grandma Linda's Garden Tuna Salad
2 cans chunk light tuna, drained (or Albacore if you prefer)
1 small head of lettuce, cut into bite size pieces
1 medum tomato, diced
1/2 cup chopped onion (I use vidalia or other sweet onion)
3/4 cup mayonaise
1/4 cup prepared mustard (more or less to taste)
Mix all ingredients in large bowl, chill until serving.
NOTE: I am not a "measurer" so the amounts are approximate. You may want to adjust the ingredient amounts as desired.
