Weekly Menu 10/2/11

 Okay being organized does make a difference in all parts of life. So back to planning more meals at home and less eating out. Plus in the spirit of saving money we cannot keep eating out (unless there is a great deal going on of course). I am a little excited to start cooking again, my amazing husband has been doing just about all the cooking for the past few months and he could use a break.

I like to plan enough meals to feed us for the week and then decide from day to day what we are going to eat, depending on what I feel like eating or how much work any certain meal will take.
