Current Goal – Making a Monthly Menu Plan

One of my goals this year has been to be a bit more organized about my cooking plans. I do love to cook on the fly but it does help to have a meal plan just in case. My meal plan works more as “just in case” than an everyday rule.  I’m figuring if I keep a list of how we ate for the month it will help with future meal planning. This is a no brainer really. My software does it already for me if I bother to open it. Which I do often because it houses all my favorite dishes. I’m just not the best about the menu planning option.

So beginning on January 9th I started inputting what we ate for breakfast and dinner. This doesn’t really include side dishes, just main dishes. But give me a hand! This took some effort!

If you’re curious we always have fruit with dinner and breakfast. Pears, apples, and/or bananas. Side dishes are usually broccoli, spinach, zucchini, cabbage (I love cabbage), carrots, peas, maybe a salad but not so much in winter, some form of potaoes, rice, pasta, or couscous.
