Menu stuff

I'm quite pleased with myself for coming up with a month's worth of menu items. I was having a hard time narrowing down my list and figuring out what to do on what days. It was a little overwhelming. Then Andy had a brilliant idea! He suggested we assign certain types of meals to the days of the week. That helped SO much!So, we decided on Mon-breakfast, Tue-Pasta, Wed-Crock pot, Th-Chicken, Fri-Pizza, Saturday is leftovers and Sunday will be the other meat meals, and traditional "Sunday Dinner" type recipes.

That seriously made it easier to narrow it down. I also have one new recipe to try each week in the different categories. So I'm excited to have several new recipes to try out in the coming month. One really nice thing will be that we won't be repeating any recipes for a month!

I'm also hoping this will help our kids become more open to different types of food. They're kind of picky.I saw a cute recipe/menu organizer on a blog and decided to try and make my own. Theirs was for sale with a whole menu system. So I jsut looked at the picture and made up my own. It gives me a cute place to store the recipes for each week and the corresponding shopping list, now they won't be floating around on the counters.I'm excited to have it all organized and to not have to think about coming up with dinner at the last minute, for at least a month! It's probably not as exciting to anyone else, but I'm pretty happy about it!
