Having a plan allows you to be prepared which can save you both time and money. Two things any busy mom can appreciate. With a plan you can ensure that you have the necessary ingredients, you can base your plan on your schedule, available time each night to cook and of course, the weekly specials. If you are interested in starting to menu plan, Laura share some amazing resources here. I highly recommend checking these out.
Back in January I gave menu planning a try - sadly, it lasted only a couple of weeks. But, in the spirit of this series, 31 Days to a Functional Kitchen, I have made a plan for our very busy week!
Monday - Lemony Shrimp Scampi Pasta with broccoli
Tuesday - Taco Salad with Ground Beef and Quesadillas
Wednesday - {Chuck E. Cheese - school fundraiser}
Thursday - Chicken Stir Fry with Brown Rice
Friday - Spaghetti with Meatballs (husband will make as I will be at Glitter Academy - can't wait)
Saturday - Pork Tenderloin with Fingerling Potatoes and Fried Apples (possible dinner party)
Sunday - {Dinner at In-Laws}
What is on your menu this week? Do you menu plan? How has it helped you save time?
