The Weekly Menu

I like to cook, I also like to bake. Both got lost in the shuffle during our last couple years at Fort Hood when I became psychotic busy dealing volunteering. I still did both but not to the extent that my family needed me to.

I've recommitted to cooking for my family and we are all enjoying it. The boys always want to help in the kitchen, Kevin has always been a help in the kitchen.

I love sending goodies in with Kevin to work. I love hearing my boys say that I am the best cook EVER.

I thought I'd start sharing our Menu Plan. I usually go by pay periods since that is how I grocery shop.

I do fill in the days with menu choices but it's all flexible. What I mean is that Spaghetti might be on the menu for Thursday but I might switch it out with Tacos which is scheduled for another day. I also leave at least two days blank for days we might eat out or have late lunches and not make a real dinner.

I just find it easier and more cost effective to menu plan then to try to guess what's for dinner. I involve the whole family so we all get our favorites and we throw in new recipes to try as well for variety. Two things that always seem to be on on our menu though are Taco Soup and Spaghetti, those are just two of our family favorites!

So what do we have in store for the next couple weeks?
