Themes. Simple or cheesy...

Okay so with my menu board and menu planning

 I figure having daily themes would make it a little easier to deal with and plan out...

 I have a few in mind but settling on them has become a chore...

I think it is cuz I am totally over thinking it. 

Yeah over thinking and complicating things is my m.o.

~*~

Here's my ideas so far.

Something simple like...

Monday- Pasta

Tuesday- Crock pot

Wednesday- Quick, easy

Thursday- Kids

Friday- Homestyle

Saturday- Mexican

Sunday- Soup

Or something cheesy like...

Meatless Monday

Taco Tuesday

Waffle Wednesday (breakfast for dinner)

Anything Thursday

Flick Friday (quick easy and a movie)

Sandwich Saturday

Summer Sunday (grill style foods)

I don't know, I guess I'll figure it out eventually. 

Menu planning my anti-sway

Soooo I am creating a weekly meal plan board...

I figure if I come up with a weekly guide and do weekly shopping

 it will help keep us from swaying...

Sounds like a plan.

I started googling and looking and comparing 

then I decided what I liked from each of the ones I seen 

and figured out how I wanted it from there. 

I know how I want it.

 I can see it in my head. 

Lets hope I can recreate it.

 I see a shopping trip in my future... :0)

I'm going to hit the dollar deals store. That way I can keep it reasonable. 

I can definitely see me going overboard lol...

Okay I'm back from dollar deals, time to put this thing together. 

I'm so excited for the outcome...

~*~

I got it partly finished. I hope I can get out tomorrow. 

It's snowing pretty bad.

 I got a few things to do to finish it up but here it is so far...

~*~

Ok I managed to get out of the driveway (only took 4 tries)

 and went back to dollar deals and voila it's finished!

Bonus I made a kitchen journal... 

For all those times you're in the middle of cooking or cleaning

 and think of some nugget of genius or you are cooking and tweak you a recipe.

 By the time you finish what your doing and find a pen or something to write on it's gone.

 BAM! kitchen journal... 

Also if you do find a pen and a random receipt or phone bill to write on

 you'll lose it for sure and not realize till you need it soooo again

 BAM! kitchen journal...

I am also going to be making a personal recipe binder.

 I'll post about it when I start it... :0)
