a month at a time

I've been trying forever to get a menu planned for an entire month out. Every time I sit down to do it, though, I struggle just to get one week done. I HATE menu planning! I finally did it though, I have just over a month planned out.

I started with daily 'themes'.

Mondays and Thursdays, I have the car so by the time I pick up John at 5:00 we don't have all day to make a meal, so those days are planned accordingly.

Monday= Quick and Easy (usually a sandwich)

Tuesday = Mexican

Wednesday= Asian / seafood

Thursday = make ahead

Friday = try something new (seems like every thing is new this month)

Saturday = home made Pizza / something fun and kid friendly with a dessert

Sunday = Grilling (it's springtime!!)

Monday March 29th = PBLT's

Tuesday March 30th = Kiddie enchiladas

Wednesday March 31st = Honey glazed chicken stir fry

Thursday April 1st = Roasted Corn and pepper soup and salad

MANY of these recipes are new to me, I plan on taking notes on each of them to decide if we want to repeat it or not next month. I linked to all the recipes that I could, the rest I'll blog once I've made them. Here we go hopefully I can stick to it, and they taste ok.....
