In an attempt to organize my life (HAHA!) and try and make shopping and dinner easier, I have been working on menus. The recipes come from a variety of places. If I know where it came from I am posting the link. I don't want to take credit for someone else's tasty creation!!
I posted my plan on Facebook and had some interested in what I had done. SO...**insert royal du-du-du-du- DUUUUUU!! here** Here is week one menu and shopping list (I hope it will post correctly!) Happy shopping, cooking and most of all eating! :) (I have to say, having this plan is helping me stay on task with both shopping and cooking for my crew!)
