Meal Planning

I wanted to share this cool site that I found about meal planning - it's so fun! Click Here
to see it. The have a whole month of fun recipes laid out for you. I want to get better about planning out my menus a month at a time, so things aren't as crazy trying to figure out what is for dinner each week. There are some great ideas here to add to all of the favorites we already have. Tonight we made the homemade ice cream in a zip-lock bag and it was super yummy! Click on "quick dinners" for a lot of great ideas. Admittedly, I just found the site, so I have only tried the ice cream so far :-), but I have the crock pot mu-shu chicken wraps on my menu to try next week - yum! Enjoy, and if you try any of the recipes, let me know what you think!

Heather,
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this site. Thanks for posting it. I'm obsessive about planning meals, I'm convinced we save $ this way and waste less food. How can I customize the calendar though? I saw some recipes I'd love to add to it an some I'd like to take off.
Come back to playgroup soon, would you?

Sure! We will have to swap meal planning ideas and sites. Oh, and I made the mu-shu chicken wraps tonight, and they were super yummy, they got Doug's stamp of approval and he said they tasted "authentic". Anyways, I don't think there is a way to customize that calendar, I wish there was! I think you would just have to take the ideas from there and put it into another program, I just use a calendar spread sheet from excel. Yes, we need to come to playgroup again soon! I don't know if Noah would be up for a full movie next week, but we might come at least for a little while to see you all, and then just play it by ear depending on how he does. :-)
