We now live in a small town that only has one grocery store with high prices.  Our goal is to plan our menu enough in advance to be able to go shopping once every 2 weeks in Pocatello where we can get much better prices.  Menu planning allows us to do this.  It also helps my week go much smoother.

Menu Plan- A New Aproach

It has been a while since I have really put together a menu plan- and I am so excited to have it! This time I have complied a list of meals for the whole month. I will post our plan each week, but having a months worth of meals planned is really excited.  Planning out a months worth of meals helped me to be more creative and plan for things that I do not normally cook.

My favorite part was realizing how few things I needed to go buy. I have most everything for this months meals in my cupboard and freezer.

Here is this weeks plan:

Monday: Salmon & Rice
Tuesday: Chicken Enchiladas
Wednesday: Steamed Red Potatoes & Chicken& Carrots
Thursday: Chicken Fajitas
Friday: Twice Baked Potatoes & Steak
Saturday: Navajo Tacos
Sunday: Chicken Alfredo

This Weeks Menu Plan & Goals

The summer has been full of fun and last minute plans.  As a result, I have not done a lot of menu planning and it is time to get back on track!  I have decided that I am going to try planning a whole months worth of meals.  Though I will most likely move things around a lot throughout the month, I think this will help overall. 

A monthly menu will also help me as I try to adapt and incorporate more freezer cooking.  Eventually I would like to work up to a once a month freezer cooking day.  I love having meals in the freezer.  Freezer meals along with a menu plan really help us stick to our budget and avoid unplanned eating out.
