I’m Wondering: What are your menu planning challenges? What keeps you from implementing or succeeding at menu planning in your home?

My challenges are budget, dietary restrictions, time and a fussy 8-year old.
I am celiac, and allergic to pineapple and mushrooms. Our family does not eat pork or beef. I work about 10 hours a day, 5 days a week, not including travel time to & from work. We’re living on one income while my FH looks for a job. My 8 year old doesn’t like to eat vegetables or meat, and refuses to eat soup or salad. My staples are rice chicken & vegetable stir fry, rice noodles and chicken or fish, turkey or chicken chili, and salmon patties.

My biggest problem would be deciding what to have ! Right now, eating from my pantry and freezer has too many options , as I have way too much in my freezer , so I need to come up with tastey sure tried meals!
