I can't stand it when the menu gets botched by various things, and sometimes it even does weekly. But that sounds like a good system that you have! I never thought about repeating, great idea! Thanks so much for sharing everyone.

Thinking about meal planning has been last on my list. Something that has been helpful to our family that might work for you is www.e-mealz.com. You can sign up to receive weekly meal plans (super easy recipes and it is only $15.00 for 3 months of plans). They even include a grocery list organized by aisle!! I print all of the meal plans off and put them in a binder. As for my other favorite recipes.....well, those will just have to stay crammed in my recipe box in the cupboard until maybe retirement?! :)<br />Heidi's sister, HollyHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12067278154514960548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365422875810454907.post-43113099686302723582011-04-01T15:20:10.907-05:002011-04-01T15:20:10.907-05:00Heidi - I love your system!

I did find one planning tip that works good for us. Once a month, I try to plan menus for two weeks. Then, I simply repeat the plan for the second half of the month. I like this because it minimizes the planning, and nobody minds a repeat during the month. I then usually only have to make one HUGE grocery trip, the weekly ones the rest of the month are just staples. You may really enjoy your weekly planning, though, so this might not be a good fit for you. Great stuff, Chef Heidi. . .keep it coming! xoxo SarahSarah Lubachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03758204814007059545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365422875810454907.post-90298936533929078012011-03-31T18:54:00.043-05:002011-03-31T18:54:00.043-05:00I am glad you showed this.

It seems so overwhelming that I don't even try so my family gets the same old, some old food. Where did you get it, any ideas... TEACH me oh wise one. I only can organize tax papers...<br />ShelliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
