Have I mentioned I LOVE meal planning?! I used a lot of the same meals as last month because it was faster lets face it we have our favorites we could eat every.single.week… so they have to go in the menu at least once a month. :)
Has anyone started meal planning?
If so, how’s it going? I want to see your menus! Maybe it will give me some new ideas for next month. ;) Oh and if you’d like me to feature one of your recipes.. send me an e-mail!
Happy Friday!
I love menu planning! It helps in both time, money and stress for me. I usually post my plan on Sunday evenings and even have a master plan of dinner meals (which I need to update) that are some of our fav 'go to' meals. That way when I am stumped for an idea, I can scan my list. :-) I'm impressed you plan the month!
ReplyDeleteOk you totally have me inspired....I think I am going to start off planning 2 weeks and then add from there!
ReplyDeleteI have been meal planning for the better part of 15 years and I love it!
ReplyDeleteI have recently started a domestic blog and my meal plans (fortnightly as that's how we get paid) on there.

I started by doing 2 weeks at a time and I got most of my recipes from your menu! You are my life savor and the tortilla soup was to die for, the salsa is almost gone too! thanks for sharing al your hard work!
ReplyDeleteThis morning while at work, I decided..ok, let's try a meal plan for most of April. So I whipped one up and posted it on my blog!

Hope you check it out and thanks for the inspiration!
I love all you posts! Especially meal planning :) My husband thanks you too hehehe.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! I have been having a harder and harder time planning out what to make for dinner after work and this just might be what I need for our LARGE family of 10! Seems I am food shopping every day!
ReplyDeleteI love meal planning to! I would like to do a month a time, but right now I only do a week! I post mine on my blog every Monday. Can't wait to get to know you better
ReplyDeleteStopping by from UBP! Nice to meet you. I look forward to reading more!! Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I'm dropping by from the UBparty. Already following your beautiful blog!
ReplyDeleteThis is my 2nd month of monthly menu planning, and I am LOVING it! It makes my life so much easier!! I LOVE to cook and I love adding new recipes to my arsenal... the monthly planning helps me incorporate both new and tried-and-true favorites!

ReplyDeletewow, you are so with it! i think i'm doing well planning 2 weeks at a time! lol, i have to say though i've been a sloppy joe hater ALL my life. finally a few months ago i gave into my husbands request for the recipe you have linked, and wow i was in love! i could eat the filling almost every night!
ReplyDeleteHopped here from UBP. I'm meal planning, too! Live by it. I do it weekly, though - not sure monthly is quite my speed. I just started blogging my weekly menus with links to recipes. I'll be back here for more ideas! Hope you'll stop by http://learnedhappiness.tumblr.com on Sundays and we can swap ideas!
ReplyDeleteHey Jamielyn I posted my menu on my blog over at becausemysistertoldmetoo.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteGo check it out and let me know what you think! If you'd let me I'd love to share my Quinoa with Black Beans recipe with you and your followers. Have a great weekend!
Wow! I am so impressed with your planning skills. I am nowhere near this organized. I will work on it before I have kids. :)
ReplyDeleteI have started! Inspired by you, of course! See my blog post that credits you: http://thekellynewlyweds.blogspot.com/2011/03/organized-mama-gives-menu-planning.html
ReplyDeleteI meant to write to you about the reference, but of course I forgot.
Thanks for the inspiration!

Stopping by from UPB11 to say hi! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your blog! I WISH I was good at sitting down and planning meals-honestly I never take the time to do it. I'm going to have to try some of your recipes and give this meal planning a try ;) Please feel free to visit me at http://wayneandjessi.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI should definitely start that! Hi! I'm following you from the UBP11! I look forward to reading more! I would love it if you would follow back at one or all three of my blogs :)

Great menu and I love how you do your plan for the whole month! I'm a menu planner too but haven't done it the last two weeks, just using stuff up from the fridge, freezer and pantry. I'll be getting back to my plans this week. I have a link to my menu plans over on MM's Missions.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend! :-)

ReplyDeleteI only dream of actually meal planning. I try every month with no sucess. lol However, you have got me very motivated! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the meal plans - May I ask how you create your meal calendar within your blog posts?
ReplyDeleteLOVE your blog!
ReplyDeleteI am almost done with my 1st menu for the whole month. Wow, my BP is up bc of it. I don't know how you do it. I am going to post it to my blog today.
ReplyDeleteI used to be so good at meal planning. This makes me want to do it again.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to look over some of your recipes.
