Some of my sisters know that I do a monthy menu in advance so I always know whats for dinner. I started doing this in March and haven't missed a month since then because I have loved knowing whats for dinner everynight before dinner time. My kids even like it. They are always willing to put in an idea of their favorite food. Most of the time they like what we are having(except chase, he usually doesn't like anything but what he picks). So since they requested copies I decided to post it.
This is the menus for this week.
Monday : Shake and Bake pork chops and funeral potatos and corn
Tuesday: Sloppy Joes veggies with ranch
Wednesday: Pork stir fry
Thursday: Taco Salad
Friday: Pizza
Saturday: Chicken enchilada's
I have been getting smarter every month about the menu. Like if you have pork chops on Monday I cook enough to have the meat already cooked for Wednesday's Stir fry. Also when I cook the meat for the Sloppy Joes I will cook enough hamburger for Thursday's Taco Salad. Sometimes we have a date on friday night so I try to make that something the kids can make if I am gone. Also tonights potatos were leftovers from yesturday.
I now take my menu to the grocery store and so we usually have everything we need.
I am sure some of you already have a system and I always like feedback so let me know.
This seriously makes my weeks easier, isn't half the trouble with dinner what to have? I hope this gives you some ideas.
