Menu for the Month

Yes, I realize it's the middle of the month...but I get so sick of sitting down each week to plan meals and thinking, "hmmmm What do I know how to cook?" I KNOW that I have more than a month's worth of things in this non-cook brain of mine...I just need to compile them into months of menus so I can rotate through them, shuffle them around, and keep adding to the list.

We'll call this Month 1

*A Few things to note:

* There are links to items with recipes, you just have to click on them ;)

*I have tried to plan meals that use many of the same main ingredients so there is less waste, too, although when I start shuffling them at a later date, that plan will kind of fall through!!

*Sundays, we eat out for lunch and have dinner at my in-law's...what a blessing!!

*I don't always plan sides ahead. I tend to make the main dish and search the fridge, freezer, and pantry for things to throw on plates during that last hour before dinner. (carrots from the fridge, cucumbers I can slice up, grapes, smoothies, canned or frozen vegetables, and anything else I picked up at the store and need to use up before it goes to waste)

*You'll notice that Wednesdays are Breakfast for Dinner nights and we usually have pizza (in some form or fashion) on Friday nights :)

*When you make a month of meals and see what you, as a family, eat on a regular basis, you also notice what you DON'T eat much of. For instance, almost every dinner consists of a beef or chicken dish...NO fish. I need to find some good, easy fish recipes that my husband and boys will EAT!!
