Menus

Yesterday I spent all day catching up with our finances that had been neglected for a few months.  Today I was supposed to do returns/exchanges, but it's snowing, of course, so now I'm on to cleaning and organizing the house before I have to get back to lesson planning. 

I wanted to share this 6 Week Menu Rotation that I came up with for the fall and winter months.  I'm hoping it will make menu planning, shopping, and cooking go more smoothly and free up some time as well as keep me out of McDonald's.  I left Sundays blank cause we usually eat out and then do leftovers, plus there's usually at least one day in the week that something comes up and your menu for that day isn't needed.

I did something similar with some girlfriends in GA a few years ago - we all contributed 2 months worth of meals and recipes and had a whole year of menus by the end of January.  It was fun to try all the new recipes, but I think this will be a step easier for me since I'm familiar with the recipes and know that my family will eat them.

How do you view the menu? I clicked on it but it tells me I am not authorized.

Sorry about that - I've changed the settings, so you should be able to view it now. Let me know if not!

Yum! This all sounds so good. I need to get some of these recipes from you.
