I just loved having a menu plan last week! I think it really helped me out a lot! I was not having to figure out in my head what we could have that day or the next! We even had more leftovers over the week, so we ate those up over the weekend. So, I did not follow my plan to a T, but it just worked out so well! I look forward to it this week and the weeks ahead! I did not get to visit very many of the other great blogs that linked up at Organizing Junkie last week, so I hope I have more time to do it this week! If you are linked up to Organizing Junkie, leave me a comment and I will try to visit your menu plan this week!
Here is the plan I hope to work with this week!

Planning really helps save the food budget too :)
ReplyDeleteI think you will love menu planning once it is a habit! I have been menu planning for a few years now and it saves me so much time! Good luck in your new journey!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and becoming a follower.
ReplyDeleteIt is neat that you are a homeschooler too. It looks like you have lots of neat posts on here!
Hi! I'm Rachel from Ramblings of a Conservative Mom. And from MBC. We do live in Tennessee. Middle of nowhere, right by Corinth, Mississippi.

I love that you plan everything out in advance, and reuse some of your suppers for dinners (that threw me for a loop, though; I kept wondering, "Where's lunch??"). We try to do that sometimes too, and it's really helpful, both with budgeting our time and our finances.
ReplyDeleteI'm intersted in your spaghetti squash recipe...
