Menu Planning

Divisions: Cooking for Beginners

Submitted by ceoMom 304, Carrie

My favorite secret to menu planning is to pick a theme for every night. My current running themes look like this:

Monday: Ground turkey night
Tuesday: Chicken night
Wednesday: Veggie night
Thursday: Soup/Sandwich night
Friday: Pizza or leftovers night
Saturday: Crockpot night

I have about four recipes for each night that my family likes. For example, my ground turkey night recipes include meat loaf, tacos and sloppy joes. I rotate these meals through the month. So far, no one seems to notice the pattern, but it sure makes meal planning a snap. When I come across a good recipe, I give it a try and consider adding it to the repitoire.
