My work schedule is different every week, so meal plans that say 'cook Sunday, eat leftovers Monday and Tuesday' last about four days before reality wins.
I am trying a looser system: keep ingredients for three fast meals, one freezer option, and one meal that can use whatever vegetables are left. Then I decide which one to cook based on the shift rather than assigning meals to dates.
Has anyone with irregular hours found a system that is structured enough to stop takeout but flexible enough not to produce a fridge full of abandoned plans?
