I bought myself an organizer that had a monthly calendar and shopping list in it and started planning...
After several DAYS, I finally had it finished...an entire month of menus, both for lunch and supper, as well as complete grocery lists for each week....
I even had a list of things I could "make ahead" and freeze when I had time! and worked likely leftovers into the menu too!
yippee!!
Now, being at the (almost) end of the month, how did I do?
I give this new found organization an A+!
I had meals on the table each day and flexibility to rearrange meals during the week to suit our "cravings."
Best part of all? I finally had time to enjoy cooking again!! Before I barely got supper on the table...this month, I have actually gotten to cook for fun!!
I discovered the blog www.annies-eats.net and recipes like:
- homemade hamburger buns and the best homemade burgers!
- chicken parmesan burgers
- whole wheat pitas
- pumpkin spice scones with spiced glaze
- pumpkin spice latte cupcakes
- baked oatmeal
- chocolate chips scones
- chicken rice taco bowl
- cinnamon scones
- and so many more I am dying to try!!
I totally recommend trying this to everyone!
