@Cate- having something up your sleeve definitely can reduce stress. There’s always a backup!

I have also found that repetition takes a lot of the stress out of menu planning, especially when trying to meet family members’ varying dislikes and intolerances. I like your approach of outsourcing one night a week too. At one point the repetition was getting me down so at a friend’s suggestion I signed up for an ingredient and menu box delivery service for some new inspiration. Most weeks I cancel it since the discounted period ended. But just knowing I have that option up my sleeve for when I need a change means I no longer resent the repetitive weeks!
