Well, I am seriously trying to figure out how to post my google calendar but failing. A couple of things to help using a monthly meal plan. If you do something constantly. Make an event and have it repeat every week. For example, Sundays we eat with our church bible study, Wednesdays we eat leftovers, and Thursdays Mr. C cooks. I don't plan what he cooks so every Thursday it just says Mr. C cooks. After those days are in place then put out any days traveling or have things planned. For example my sister's birthday is on March 12 (Happy Bday Jenni!) and we are out of town alot so I put those in there. From there create your plan. A couple of ideas do easy dinners for weeknights or crockpot. I use Year of Slow Cooking blog just about every Tuesday. I also have a delicious cookbook where I tag recipes I like or want to try. I will look at them at the beginning of the month for help. My general plan is to cook on Mondays and Saturdays since I am home and have time. Crockpot on Tuesdays so dinner will be ready when we get home and do something easy on Fridays. Here is an example of this month for me:
Mon Mar 1 steak/ barbeque tofu, collard greens, cornbread
Tue Mar 2 veggie soup/beef stew
Wed Mar 3 scrounge
Thu Mar 4 kyle cooks= kung pow hot dog
Fri Mar 5- Sunday, March 7 orlando
Mon Mar 8 spinach cream cheese lasagna
Tue Mar 9 slow cooker orange tofu, rice, Asian broccoli sides/ pineapple chicken
Wed Mar 10 scrounge
Thu Mar 11 kyle cooks
Fri Mar 12 mushroom and steak quesadillas, refried beans, guacamole
Sat Mar 13 - Sun, March 14 nashville
Mon Mar 15 Black bean/ polenta bake chicken polenta bake
Tue Mar 16 digornio
Wednesday, March 17-Tue Mar 23 We will be in San Francisco on Vacation!
Wed Mar 24 potato/cauliflower soup
Thu Mar 25 kyle cooks
Fri Mar 26 baked ziti from freezer
Sat Mar 27 patty melts with butternut squash fries
Sun Mar 28 Dinner at Life Group
Mon Mar 29 mung bean dal
Tue Mar 30 Alfredo chicken stew
Wed Mar 31 scrounge
FYI, Mr. C is a carnivore and I am herbivore. This is why you sometimes see more than one meal. If you are both on the same page no need to make 2 meals!
