M ~ Meal Planning

     Every week I take a little time to plan out a menu before I make my grocery shopping list. I like how it prevents that block of wondering what I'm going to be cooking for supper. I also like how it helps me incorporate new recipes knowing that I'll have the necessary ingredients on hand. 
    I keep each week's menu in one of my "idea books" and I enjoy looking back over previous menus to see what our favorites had been.
    This week I had planned a different sort of menu because one of us was scheduled for oral surgery yesterday, and I wanted the food to still be able to be enjoyed by all.

Monday

Korean BBQ wraps
Purple Slaw

Tuesday

Chile Relleno Casserole
Salad

Wednesday

Cream of Chicken Soup (from scratch)
Dinner rolls
Pudding

Thursday

Creamy Potato Soup
Bread
Leftover pudding

Friday

Mashed Potatoes
Onion Fritters
Tuna Balls

Saturday

Sandwiches
Salad
Mangos and Cottage Cheese

Sunday

  1. I agree with the way you plan things out. All of my married life the paycheck has come every other week, so planning a menu was a necessity. We are vegetarians, so I can't just toss pork chops and ground beef into the basket and think "Monday and Tuesday"; we're talking *recipes*, and there's nothing more frustrating than getting halfway into a recipe and finding you don't have what you need.

  2. I'm trying to get better at meal planning. I keep falling out of the habit.
