Here is my fall meal plan:<br />http://www.foreverforalwaysnomatterwhat.com/2010/08/fall-meal-plan.html<br />I don't always stick with it, but at least I have a framework for the week/month. Finding time to grocery shop is always a big issue. I don't like going on the weekend b/c it digs into that family time and every place is so busy - but taking all the kids during the week is hectic too! I would like to get on a twice a month schedule...maybe some day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15273090648046464044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611443170663004142.post-36604623832501318812010-10-03T20:35:59.407-04:002010-10-03T20:35:59.407-04:00Hi Annita!

And, the meals are pretty much the same week after week... although, I do like to shake it up once in a while (pancakes or something else fun). I always cook "big" on Sundays, and that is when I try out new recipes as well as old family favorites. I also have a master grocery list (by store) which I print off and then check off. I might have to add a few things to it if I am trying something new, but it is a pretty comprehensive list.<br /><br />Have a great evening! I'll go vote now!<br /><br />~~Annita +JMJ+Mom2Sevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16556390705963609169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611443170663004142.post-69964548998647495692010-10-03T07:20:49.707-04:002010-10-03T07:20:49.707-04:00Hi Tena!

It sounds like what I have tried to do and tried to stick with, but I always get off course depending on what is going on with our schedule. I'm trying to have breakfast for dinner on Thursday nights, pizza on Friday nights...etc. I'm glad I'm not the only mom that stuggles trying to get in a menu planning routine :)<br />Have a good day! Thanks for the votes!

You already have a list of your favorite meals, so fill in a calendar spreading these meals throughout the month. Then fill in the other days with meals you want to try. If they work out well add them to your fav list. After a few months you will have more meals to fit into the days. After a year it will be easier to plan months ahead. Also, I schedule my proteins for specific days so there are no questions on shopping day or from family like, "What's for dinner." Saturday: Chicken (usually a whole roasted chicken), Sunday: Beef, (usually a roast), Monday: Spaghetti, Tacos, Hamburgers, etc., Tuesday: Leftovers, Wednesday: Pork or Fish, Thursday: Chicken (any recipe), Friday: Cooks Choice. I don't know if that helps, but it works for us. I voted for you on both PF and MB. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972430229339449257noreply@blogger.com
