Well it was suggested that I share what our menu is going to be this week. With it being summer, there is lots of grilling and slow cooker recipes since I really hate being over a hot stove while I am hot already. You will see I do both lunch and dinners, this is a fairly new thing since the kids are home for summer now. I also have fresh produce on the menu at least once a day. I have found with teen boys it helps fill them up and I would rather they eat the healthy stuff then other junk

I am often asked ‘How do you do your menu planning?’ Well this is one of those things that I have to set time for. For me it’s not exactly the easiest way however for us it helps us save money which is the key especially in this economy.

Tuesday afternoon the sales ads for all the local markets come in the mail. So I sit down and really read them to see what is on sale. So I am not having to go to more then one store. Yes most stores do honor other stores sales ads but around here its slim.
