I have a family of 6 and havent had this much freedom in so long. Peace of mind for sure when it saves you the hastle of not knowing what your having . My husband hasnt said to me in those 2 weeks “we have nothing to eat” the kids have been loving the different meals we make every day. We were so sick of having the same stuff every day. We also find we are eating way healthier and feel much more energy and feel like we are already loosing weight. we make everything from scratch even school snacks we are starting to buy. We use allrecipes.com for our dinner recipes. I too also have gave my recipes to my sister and my parents as i know they need to save money Im thinking this could come as a little side job of helping others save money. :)

The time it takes to menu plan is TOTALLY worth it!

Cathy – Thanks Cathy! Yes, inventing can only go so far.. I used to do that too haha.
Skinny Taste is AWESOME, huh? I love her site.
and Menu Plan Monday blogger is a professional organizer, so that’s why she looks so organized. :P She’s great!

PS I love! all recipes, they have been my go to place for a while now!

wow, i’ve NEVER menu planned before; i’m pretty good at ‘inventing’ recipes with the deals we find at the grocery/market (as in.. reduced :) ) **BUT** ‘inventing’ can only take you so far.. – i wanted to aim at trying new recipes now and then this year (my initial target was once a week – too ambitious…)
WOW!!!!! Skinny taste may become my inspiration for recipes!!! ohhh.. thanks for sharing her!!!
and… Menu plan monday blogger seems reallllly organised – quite inspirational too for my 2011 organizing aspirations! :) (BUT… just so you know, not as inspirational as you: YOU are my TOP inspiration!! :)
Have a nice week all!!! :)

I hate the question “what’s for dinner?”. Just look at the menu on the fridge!
Latte Lady – I’ll have to look for that Michaels board!

Menu planning saves money and frustation when all the kids are starving and I don’t have to think of what to make for dinner that night.

I bought menu plan magnet pads at Michaels. I find this makes me use what I have and not go out and buy stuff I dont need.
