So here it is . . . January's Menu Plan.
I made some adjustments this time. First, I added a week in order to finish the month. This menu plan will take you from January 1 through February 4. Every 3rd month will have 5 weeks instead of 4, so I can stay on track with the months.
Also, I limited my meals to 5 each week. We were having too many leftovers with 6 meals each week - therefore throwing out too much food. And throwing out food, means money over-spent at the grocery store. So, we are going to try 5 meals a week - and hopefully we can eat up those leftovers!
I am sticking with tacos / nachos on Sunday. It's such a busy day with morning Worship Service and AWANA in the evening. And I really want to keep the day a family day, too. And since these meals are always a hit at our house - it really helps to simplify things for me. Plus, my husband will prepare it, giving me a break!
It has been so helpful for me to make these menu plans. One evening a month I set aside time to do this - and I'm set for the month! It simplifies grocery shopping night. And it also, helps on those tired nights when I'm not sure what to prepare - it's already listed for me!
I hope you find this menu plan helpful, too.
