I guess it works for us to mix it up. My latest, that I like is the menu planning two months at a time, and I go shopping every 2-3 weeks. I try to pair like things in the same week so I can use up the sour cream carton. My daily categories are something like this: chicken, beef, salad, beans, new recipe, food storage, leftovers. Food storage nights are often new recipes, but sometimes they overlap with a bean meal. It's so helpful for me to have it all mapped out, but I'm all about using other peoples ideas too. Your recipes sound good--I'd love to see your meal plans too.nateandcolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08368099609927564057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616280489470886422.post-41374865332002264782010-01-29T21:50:28.200-06:002010-01-29T21:50:28.200-06:00I'd love to see your ideas...you've been p...I'd love to see your ideas...you've been pretty busy lately.

Not as cute or organized as you, I'm sure, but I have a long list that I keep on the inside of my pantry so I don't have to freak out when it's time to plan menus. I'd like to make it even more fun, though...I can't wait to see what you do with yours. They all sound yummy, by the way!Josh and Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05273200225587327922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616280489470886422.post-27624223371502845822010-01-28T10:14:18.202-06:002010-01-28T10:14:18.202-06:00I would love to see your menu!!!

I'm doing Weight Watchers and I think it helps to have all my meals planned and points counted ahead of time. I would to sit down and make out two months worth of meals and just rotate. That would be so easy!!mommy2luke2008https://www.blogger.com/profile/00805030223993925046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616280489470886422.post-23377215039337566772010-01-27T20:23:34.661-06:002010-01-27T20:23:34.661-06:00I do a month long meal plan (not every month is th...I do a month long meal plan (not every month is the exact same, but as I find recipes online or in a book I put them in Word and now have a recipe folder I get ideas from) and it makes me so much less stressed. I've realized that a meal plan is something I must have in my life because without it I spend my afternoon super stressed out trying to figure what to cook for dinner--espec now that I've been really trying to cook more healthy. I'd love to see how you make it all cute! I just keep mine saved on my computer-boring!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992199063959758164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616280489470886422.post-2131767796940547692010-01-27T16:26:25.126-06:002010-01-27T16:26:25.126-06:00I would love to see your menu! :) I don't have...I would love to see your menu! :) I don't have a meal plan going on right now! I have tried several different things but I get bored with it! Today I made 2 pans of Mexican lasagna and 2 pans of tuna casserole! So I spent the morning and made 4 meals pretty much! that's how it's been lately. when I know exactly what the week is going to be like I will make a weekly menu! but normally I just plan out a couple days at a time right now.. Love your idea though! I have gone through the pantry and everything in my kitchen and made a list of meals I could make with what was in the house before.. that works great! BUT takes alot of time and hahah ya time who has that anymore.. <br /><br />Well Hope your plan goes well Hope to get to see it! <br />-The Creative housewife!The creative housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02724798779890720499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616280489470886422.post-42101794540008408552010-01-27T16:14:15.845-06:002010-01-27T16:14:15.845-06:00I want to see your menu ideas.
