Wheew! Made it through another Monday! Even though I stay home with my beautiful girls I still get the case of the Monday's. It is the day that I try and catch up on everything that I wasn't able to get to throughout the weekend. Monday is also the day that I sit down and make the grocery list out for Tuesday.
Speaking of groceries, I made a menu of 30 days of dinners! This is one of the best things that I have done! Seriously! Do you know how much stinkin' time I have wasted thinking, "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what should we have for dinner?" This is ALWAYS my husband's response, "I don't care." Thank you, thank you very much for that help Mr. Jonny boy! Ohh... I can't forget to mention my oldest response, "ICE CREAMMM!" Shoooot, only in my dreams is ice cream a healthy meal option. I bet it is in heaven! And I also bet that you can eat whatever the crap you want and not gain a pound. :)
So are ya wondering how I made that 30 day meal plan? Well wouldn'tcha know that I got a little inspiration from the mom/wife of like all time, Ms. Julie!! You can check out her blog here. Trust me, this is such a time saver. I can not tell you how luxurious it has been to KNOW what is for dinner. Usually before we were stuck on the same rotation of the same stuff. Not anymore! My husband even likes it this way. He will look at the week ahead and even pull out chicken or whatever out of the freezer to help prepare :) So I guess that makes up for not giving any meal ideas.
You are probably thinking, well it takes forever to do a weeks worth of meals so a month worth has to be LOTS longer. But, Julie over at Batcho's Family Adventures has the best strategy going. So here is the secret each day of the week is a "theme," for example, Monday is breakfast, Tuesday is crockpot, Wednesday is mexican etc. Then you just fill in meals for each theme. BOOM!
Now go to Julie's blog and get some more inspiration :)
XOXO
