I haven't been menu planning for the past few months and while we always ended up having a meal on the table at dinnertime there were more instances than I would like to admit where the 5 o'clock hour came around and I was scrambling to figure out what I could make.
I have also come to love menu planning because I find I make a lot more new recipes when doing it and another bonus is that a plan keeps my grocery shopping in check because I know what ingredients I need ahead of time instead of just throwing tons of things in my cart "just in case" I may need them.
Sunday
Grilled Pork Chops
Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
Salad
Beets in Vinegar

Thursday

Saturday
I don't get home from work until 7 pm so my husband is in charge of dinner for him and the kids- he usually picks something easy from the freezer or pantry.
I am participating in I'm an Organizing Junkie's Menu Plan Monday.
