I've got a plan...

A menu plan to be exact. In an effort to take control of the chaos that my life becomes at the first sighting of Christmas decorations, I am trying out Menu Plan Monday. After reading organizing junkie's helpful links, I gathered the husband and the young un around the computer to find some family friendly meals, printed out my lists, and hit the grocery store. Here's our Menu for the week:
Monday: Baked Teriyaki Chicken & Brown Rice
Tuesday: Cheeseburger Joes & Sweet Potato Fries
Wednesday: Smarter Fettuccine Alfredo (I'm adding shrimp to mine)
Thursday: *Slow Cooker Meal* Easy Cheesy Chicken
Friday: Leftover Buffet :)

So cross your fingers and wish me luck! I'll let you know how many times the fire dept has to visit our house this week.

Yay! Welcome to the menu-planning us. ; ) I find that though making my menus takes a little time and foresight, it saves me time and money in the long run. Keep up the good work. ; )

I love Org Junkie too! I only wish I had a bigger family to cook all the delicious meals for, it's just me and my hubby so we have TONS of leftovers!

Well if you make all that stuff this week, I'm coming for the leftovers on Friday so save some.
