Dinner Menu June 17 - 29

I menu plan 2 weeks at a time. I do this because it’s the way the $ comes to the family and I shop for 2 weeks AND I don’t plan breakfast, lunch or snacks. So it’s relatively easy for me to pull off 2 weeks and some extras for the freezer.  To start with, I made a spreadsheet of dinner items that 3 of 4 Brunner’s will eat.  If you are the 4th man out who won’t eat the la-la-la-la-la-sagna, you can fend for yourself. I thing bowls of cerealare wonderful dinner options. J  I try and peruse through recipes on a regular basis and try new things so I can add to the list, but June has been an excessively busy month and I’m lucky to get diner on the table, kitchen cleaned,coffee made for the AM and games out of the way much before 11 at night.  Sooooooo…..I got some catch up to do but that is what July is for. 

Anyhoo I’ll include links when I can because the wonderful women of the internet have helped to groom to be this crazy  planning freezing busy mom.  I love them all dearly.  Copy off me who’s copied off of them.  Tweek as you go, you’d be surprised howit becomes easier over time.

I still need help getting my freezer organized so if you have ideas HOLLER!!!!!!  A * next to the item says it’s frozen or part of it is frozen shaving loads of time.
