This is my first week of following a schedule for food preparation. I’m not sure if these are a bunch of lofty ideas or menus I will actually make and complete. I can say that I already feel a weight lifted of of my shoulders as I already prep to make the meals for each day. Tonight, I will be making bread for the sandwiches we will take with us on our field trip.

I have linked to the items that I have already shared at Milk & Honey Mommy. Eventually, I hope to have more recipes of the foods we eat posted so you can see how we put them together.
This sounds like a great menu. Can you share the lentil balls recipe?
Have you considered using Plan to eat website for your menus and grocery list? I have been using it for the past year and it is great. I make my menu up for the month and shop every two weeks. There is also a link to snag recipes from the web without having to type the whole recipe. I’m not a spokesman I just love the site.
Great menu! How did your week go and how is it going now? Menu planning has definately been a life saver here and its one less decision I have to make during the day.
I really need to get back on top of my menu planning. It really makes the days go smoother. I’m glad to hear that you are living life. And not just blogging about it. Thanks for checking in on me every once in a while. It’s good to hear from you!
