Menu Planning 202

I know I mentioned that we would be on a new topic this week but I realized that I forgot one important step when doing your own meal planning. Checking your Calendar!!


After you have a list of recipes that you use and then check what recipes you can use based on the food that you have in the house you need to take into consideration what you are doing that evening. Before you decide what you are going to have check your calendar to see how busy your evening is going to be. Are you going to be home and have time for a nice relaxing meal? Are you going to be going to your childs soccer game that evening? If you have time to sit down then have a meal your can really enjoy with your family. If you are going to be on the run try something in the crockpot or pack a picnic to eat at your event. Try to avoid doing fast food because you are on the run. If you plan in advance you should be able to find a way to get around the drive thru's.
