This week's menu! We are trying to stay budget friendly, as you can see. This is about the 4th week that I've done menu planning. I love it! I thought I would get quite a bit of opposition from my husband, but I've found as long as I ask him what he wants to eat during the week too, he is fine with it! Another huge benefit is that I'm no longer staring at the refrigerator trying to figure out what to eat in the evenings. Typically I would have almost all of the ingredients of a lot of different things - now I buy only what I need. So I'm hopefully saving money also!
I decided to start menu planning based on this post from Annie's Eats. She outlines a great way to organize everything. I have found that if I bookmark items throughout the week and copy over to my "notes" page on my laptop, by the end of the week, I just need to pick a few new meals to prepare and stick to a few standbys that I know my husband will like! I put it all on a Word document, print it and put it on the refrigerator. I also keep the links in Word, and keep the document open so that I can easily find the new recipes. It works out great for me!
