As you know, I've made weekly plans before, and I loved what that did for my schedule and my peace of mind, but imagine knowing what you'll need, generally, for a whole month!
I was up for trying it out, so I spent a few hours this weekend going through meals and recipes we actually like and that don't take forever to prepare. Thursdays I'm out of the house till 7pm, so I set aside the crock pot recipes for those days. I didn't allow for any eating out or invitations, so of course this plan is flexible. At least I'll know I can 'do the next thing' though when it comes time to.
So here it is...
