Check out orgjunkie for more menu ideas....I'm sure there will be a lot being the first of the year and people are making resolutions about menu planning!
I spent all day Friday creating an inventory of the pantry and freezer. I also cruised the 'net
for some new recipes to try. With all of that, I was able to come up with 16 dinners based on the food I had on hand. Crazy, huh? I only needed a handful of ingredients (mainly veggies) to actually make all the meals!
I'm really wanting to focus on making better food shopping habits. December was a crazy month and I all but refused to shop after I spent almost $200 in the first 2 1/2 weeks! Our average was about $70-$90 every week and a half and I'd like to continually shoot for that(or lower of course). Planning meals of course will play a big part in that goal.
