Get Your Menus Planned Before the Crazies Begin!


With Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas sneaking up on us, the holiday crazies HAVE begun!

In order to stay sane, we must keep up on our EVERYDAY responsibilities!
The only way to do both is simplify and plan ahead.  This week we'll be checking our systems and routines around the house, revamping and simplifying so that we can NOT ONLY handle the next few months, but enjoy the fun!  

Today's Task:  Menu PLAN!

Here's what I do to keep it simple:

Sunday:  Crock Pot
Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: Taco Tuesday (or any Mexican dish)
Wednesday:  Pasta Night
Thursday:  Hubby BBQ's
Friday: Pizza
Saturday:  Leftovers

Now each Monday I just fill in the blanks, make a quick grocery list...and wha la -simplified meal planning.

Here's some menu boards, just to make it fun:

Mndy-made suggets you frame it and use dry erase markers on the glass to plan each week.

and HERE's mine on Etsy.
I like to use magnets and put the recipe right on the board.


How do you simplify your menu plan?
