It may be the end of the month, but by doing a little planning prior to the start of a new month, there’s always something to feed my crew. Having a shopping plan, menu plan, and menu options written down is a HUGE stress-buster for me.
Do you plan your meals? For a week? Two? A Month? Share your best tips!
This post was just one in my month-long series of sharing 31 days of glimpses into my real life. Thanks for visiting! You’ll find all my I.R.L. visits by clicking on the coffee cup.
Sharing this post at Menu Plan Monday and some of these wonderful places.
I love the theme of your 31 Days series! I didn’t do one this time (or I should say attempt one as I didn’t get very far in my previous attempts). When I menu plan, I find I do best doing it one week at a time. Hope you have a wonderful week!
Thank you, Jean 🙂 I plan out my meals for a whole month, and then fine tune the menu plans each week. I’ve slipped lately and have been enjoying how much better our days flow now that I’m getting back to it.
And just so you know you are not along, my previous attempts at the Write31 challenge were not all that successful either. That’s why this low-key, let’s see type of series for me this year. I’m glad you are enjoying it. Blessings!
