This forum (Menu Planning) seems pretty slow so I'm hoping I'll garner some responses to my dilemma.
The biggest hurdle I have to menu planning is the constant inventory taking that needs to occur regularly. Once I take inventory of my pantry, cupboards, fridge and freezer, the logical thing would be to keep it up to date. Keeping it current would mean adding things when I've gone shopping and deducting things as I use ingredients up. It just seems like a whole lotta maintenance. There has to be an easier way to do it.
I'm wondering if a paper version or a digital version would be best to manage it. I'm leaning towards digital just because it seems faster and I'm all about paperless.
Does anyone else suffer from this "inventory" dilemma? Am I over-thinking it trying to make it easier? I sure could use some feed-back on this topic.
