Yes, I finally did it! I finally
menu planned for an entire month, and it wasn’t as difficult or time-consuming
as I thought it would be.
Already being in the habit of
menu planning definitely made my month-long menu planning a bit easier. I also
already make specific types of meals on certain days of the week because of our
schedule. Once I filled in those easy days and Jared’s cooking lesson days, I
only had a few days left to fill in.
I’m certain that I’ll be tweaking
the menu throughout the month, but for now, I have a full month of menus.
My month of meals has also
inspired me to cut back on my shopping trips even more. Since I have a plan,
creating a list of non-perishables that I’ll need during the month should be
simple, leaving only the weekly run for fresh produce. That idea is really
starting to sound quite appealing!
Anyway, I’m pretty excited about
having a month-long menu plan. I’ll let you know how it works out.
I pray you have a blessed week
with less stress because you created a menu plan!

Grace and peace be
yours in abundance,
Betty
