October Menu Plan

OCTOBER MENU PLAN

I don't care if it's 100 degrees out, I am adding in our weekly soups back to the menu......

YAY FOR FALL!

September Menu Plan 2014

I kickstarted the Monthly Menu Plan in June, took July off, and did it again for August and am SOLD that it's the way to go for our family!  I've been menu planning for years and swear by it, hey I'm a "List" girl and need to see everything written down, and Monthly is a better fit for my family than Weekly was!  My friends ask the same question, "But what if you aren't in the MOOD for what you planned 3 weeks before?"  My answer is always simple.....the plan is not written in stone, LOL....I change things as life and/or my mood changes.  Ahhhh, the joy!

With school starting for us next Monday, I am pumped that this task is out of the way!!

A couple of new recipes this month:

Taquitos

Summer Veggie Tian

One Pot Chicken & Potatoes  (more of an oldie, but goodie)


I'll also be working on snacks for our school week to keep control over the ALL.DAY.EATING.

Easy Oatmeal packs for breakfasts

Banana Muffins for breakfast and snacks

Zucchini Bread for breakfast and snacks

Homemade Pizza rolls

No Bake Energy Bites

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough to freeze up in 1 dozen sets. (Easy to pull out and bake without having 3 dozen that we ALL end up eating in a day! LOL)

September Menu Plan

Sorry, I'm a little late on this. With my husband's works schedule and being away one-two nights a week, I was waiting on his travel schedule to tweek my menu for the month. And well, here it is! Now this is something totally new for me to try. I have been toying with this idea for over a year now and am thinking that now is the time. :o)

Now I know there are some of you ladies out there that are like me and will jump on the idea of trying something new BUT if you've never menu planned you may want to stick to a week by week plan and build up to a monthly. Or hey, if you just want to dive on in then join me! LOL I will be posting this week about different reasons to Menu Plan, why do a monthly, different templates, tips, etc. But for now here is the plan, I have to get my Sunday started!
