    Sunday Reminder – Menu Plan

    By Laura CyraApril 22, 201426 Comments2 Mins Read
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr Email

     

    Good morning!! Β It is Sunday and you know what that means – time to menu plan! Β If you haven't seen it already watch my quick video clip from Task ThursdayΒ and download my ebook My Go To Weekday Meals with FREE printable What's Cookin' –Β all you have to do is join my newsletter!

    So here is what you are going to do, find 10 minutes today and do a couple things:

    1. Take a quick stock of what you have in the fridge/pantry/freezer
    2. Using What's Cookin'Β plan out your meals for the week, make your grocery list and any special notes

    That's it, it is seriously that easy! Β I like to use what I have on hand first before going grocery shopping. Β Why not use those dried beans, can of tomatoes, a chicken breast, onion, and taco seasoning to make Slow Cooker Chicken Taco SoupΒ – ingredients I always keep on hand! Β Or the left over chicken to make Chicken Noodle Soup! Β The possibilities are endless and finding a way to use leftovers to create something fun and new is an exciting challenge in itself. Β Have fun with it and do what you can, don't make it a chore.

    I will check back in to make sure you've at least attempted to make a menu plan. Β I'd love to hear some ideas you've come up with and what you found helps make it easier.

    Leave a comment below, follow me onΒ Twitter, or join me onΒ Facebook!

      I’m also stopping by from the Mingle. πŸ˜€ Love your ideas but I am not the cook in our family so I will just have to pass your tips onto our chef. I think he will like them.

      I hope you are enjoying your weekend!

      Stopping by from the hop. I do a menu plan. I grocery shop every other week, so I make up a two week plan. I give myself flexibility to not follow it exactly. I plan it based on what I have, and what is on sale.

      Hi there, I’m popping over from the Monday Mingle.
      I do Meal planning too. I have always done it in a vague way but recently since I have taken over the cooking from my Lovely Hubby I do it a bit more seriously. I do a blog about it each week (http://notsosuperscottishmummy.blogspot.co.nz/2012/06/meal-planning-monday-25th-june-2012.html) and a fellow blogger over at http://athomewithmrsm.blogspot.co.nz/ has a great Meal Planning Linky that I link up to.
      It keeps me organized and helps me write my shopping list and use up things I have x

      Haha I need this! I’m bad at using leftovers that my hubby squirms when he sees a lot of plastic wares in the fridge full of leftover meals, spreads or veggies. I blame it on being forgetful but I know I ‘should’ do better. I know it’s not Sunday anymore but this should be a whole week task for me πŸ™‚

        It is one of the major changes I made that has taken a lot of stress and leftovers out of my life! Good luck!
