Needing more menu ideas this month? I remember when I would look at the clock at 4:00 and wonder what I should make for dinner? I would get an idea only to realize I was short ingredients. After running to the store (with some extra purchases) I would come home and frantically make dinner. Ever since I started planning my menu by the month my life is so much easier. Making my grocery list is easier since I already know what I am making that week. I love saving time and money. And I love having more time for my family during that crunch time. It’s easier to manage homework or read a story when I have dinner together. And since I aim to be helpful I am more than happy to share my monthly menu to give you ideas. I love trying new recipes and making family favorites. And if you have a new favorite recipe leave a link or idea in the comments below!

You’ll see I try to have dinners without meat, or very little meat. I’m trying to stay in budget and be healthier. I love eating breakfast, pastas, soups, and other variety to keep our menu fun. I suggest putting your dinner menu on a large paper calendar or google calendar. I love having my menu online in case I stop by the grocery store. Also you can read why I’m a fan of menu boards. I also love to plan my family nights so I can be more intentional with what I’m teaching my children.
