Makin' Meals

Planning meals and shopping for groceries are both activities that we find to be time-consuming and challenging!  We've found that, with a little organization, "Makin' Meals" can be a little easier and less "agonizing".

We both use pre-made grocery lists that we have out on our counter or on our fridge all the time so that we can easily add to it. We have prepared our grocery lists to reflect the order of aisles at our particular grocery stores. This makes shopping so easy and saves time. We have also utilized menu planning so that when it comes to dinner time, there isn’t too much thinking that has to come into play at that crazy time of day.

Our menu planning is pretty basic...We come up with five dinners for the week and then repeat them each week during the month. We come up with four months of menus and then repeat. This way, we only have to come up with a minimum of 20 dinner options for the year.  Of course, we can always come up with more dinner options/choices (depending on our schedules) if we want.
