August - Monthly Menu

  I can't believe how fast August has arrived!! July went by way to fast. It was great to have a blogging break  & just focus on my family & other things as well.

 Nothing feels better than getting your upcoming month a little planned & scheduled out. So it is time for another Monthly Menu.

This time it is in an actual calendar form. Breakfast is the top & dinner is the bottom item. Because it is personalized to my family, you also see when we are out of town & I won't be cooking those days.

I do apologize it is a little hard to read. Click the image & it will get bigger.

If you want, just click on the image & save to your computer. Now dinner is already planned for the rest of the month. 

 Or here is just the quick list of dinner item:

I am now off to do my monthly grocery shopping. Have a great 1st day of August. (I still can't believe it is August). 

Month Menu for April

 I am going to try something different this month. We will see how it goes. Instead of doing my normal Menu Monday, I decided for to plan out my entire month of April menu. (Right now this excludes lunches, I will work on that one later this week, because as most of you know I cook lunch as well).
      I am also going to try to do 75% of my shopping at the 1st of this month. We drink about 6-8 gallons of milk a week, so fresh produce & milk I am going to buy at the 1st of each week. I just don't have freezer space for that much milk right now.

For breakfast we will just rotate between these ideas throughout the month.

Breakfasts: 

•   Oatmeal
• Waffles
• Rancho juevos
• Muffins/Fruit
• Bacon & Eggs
• Bagels
• Sticky Rolls
• Cream egg on Toast
• French Toast
• Biscuits & gravy
• Pancakes

I know that almost everything is different & for shopping some of you may think that it means buying a whole lot of different ingredients. But if you look closer. One week we may have Mexican Chicken Casserole, the next week it is Enchilada pie. The main ingredients are almost identical, the sauce & meat are about the only thing that changes. The same for the different pasta  we will eat. One week it will be spaghetti the next week it is Beef noodles. Also  if you see anything you are curious about, or interested in a recipe let me know & I can get one to you! So there you have it. Now I just need to figure out when to go shopping.  I am hoping that less trips to the store mean more money saved. I will let you know how it goes. So what are you eating this month?
