Menu Plan Monday... or Tuesday

Several of my blog pals do menu planning and post it on their blog. I am constantly going and checking for ideas and recipes, so I decided to do the same on mine. Menu planning is definitely a tool I use to stay within budget and make sure I have healthy meals for the family. Otherwise I end up over spending on groceries and buying much more convenience foods.

I warn you, for breakfast and lunch, I tend to make in bulk and we eat it for several days. So that is why there are so many repeats. I just cant seem to find the time to do it any other way. and when I do stuff goes bad.

Maybe someone can get some use out of it...
