Optimizers are documents that I have created to help you with the daily time management difficulties that many families have. Even though I have always been relatively organized, I've had some unfortunate occurances in the kitchen. Chronical of a Dinner Flunky is my brief journal of how I went from being a kitchen disaster to creating the Menu Guide and Grocery Guide.

Below are two groups of Optimizers. Just click on the appropriate How To Guide and then the corresponding spreadsheet.
