Why Create a Menu?
Sometimes it is just hard to think of what to make for your next meal. For many years, I have created weekly menus in a little notebook. These menus are great for many reasons.  For those that have a hard time making menus, read my suggested menus, pick out what you like. Click on the link and the recipe is right there for you! 

Here is why I like to create weekly menus.
1. I can easily make a shopping list from my menu, wasting less food, not making extra trips to the supermarket and making it easy to stay within my budget.
2. I am tired and cannot think of what to make!! Then I remember my menu, open up the notebook and have it right in front of me! Sometimes I do switch meals around. The good think is that I have all the ingredients and recipes!
3. I have planned for picky eaters.It is very frustrating to have a meal prepared and a member of your family does not want to eat it. We usually don't have so much time to make a new meal. Planning ahead, freezing favorite meals of this person lessen the stress and make meals a pleasant time for everyone.
4. I usally plan one very nice meal a week that may take more prep time. I build this into my day, often prepping ahead of time to lessen a huge cooking day.
