Menu planning, love it or hate it, it's a must for busy families on the go. I have quite a large library of cookbooks. You could say it's a collection.  :)  Honestly, it can be a daunting and overwhelming task to go through so many books in search of the week's dinners. We have 6 people in our family and it's rare that they will request a specific meal. I'm really on my own and sometimes, I just run out of ideas.
