Hey guys! Remember this? Right before I had Camper I went all nesty and made a whiteboard monthly menu- even went so far as to print up magnetic meals to arrange on the calendar. Like whoa. I had TIME on my hands, huh? So I’m doing it again. My Mom and I planned out the month this morning, split up the next week for who cooks what, and I just KNOW this is going to work. I have yet to figure out how it’s going to work with Weight Watchers…but we will see.
I was super inspired by this post over at SAJ. I looked at her shopping list and her recipes, and thought, “I CAN BE THAT THRIFTY.” I was once, why not now? I was thinking about how to go about doing it, and realized that I had already put the effort into making a plan. I actually did really well on my cooking plan until Camper came along, and 9 months later I’m ready to try again. The one modification that I’m going to make (a la SAJ) is allowing a little more time for leftovers. When I did this before I found that my “weeks” worth of food usually lasted about 10 days…and to stop wasting it’s good to plan a leftover day a couple times of week to eat up everything that would otherwise just sit in the fridge.
Pictures to come…I’m sure. Meanwhile, just enjoy the blast from the past.
