It's been forever since I've posted a menu plan. Thus, the weekly menu has not been what it ought to be. I notice I tend to desire to eat out more when the menu isn't planned, which in turn causes a higher cost in our food budget. That needs to get nipped in the bud!

Pack the kids’ lunches in the evening so all you have to do is grab them out of the refrigerator in the morning. Make a menu plan. Menu planning will make your evenings go more smoothly. Help the kids lay out their clothes for the next day, so they’re ready to get dressed when they wake up.

Sunday I had eaten a late lunch so I don’t think I even actually ate an official dinner. Saturday I made whole wheat blueberry pancakes because I had been craving them, but my morning had been too rushed to do something like pancakes. I love blueberry pancakes! And Zoe picked up some dinner on the way home from work.

My lunch leftovers were at least 25% better than the original dish. Next time I’d cook the chicken, put it to the side, and add it at the very last minute, once the sauce was cooked. Also of note: this dish improved considerably after an overnight in the fridge!

my buy-nothing-group toaster oven on my buy-nothing group table Tuesday This was my first super long day at school and I did a great job of packing my lunch. To make croutons, I usually just saute bread with butter and garlic powder on the stovetop and then do the final crisping in the toaster oven, on the air fryer setting.

There’s a reason why menu planning is #1 on this list. When I plan a menu, my spending is generally under control. When I don’t plan, I make multiple trips to the store, eat out too often, and most certainly blow our budget. Also, I plan for everything–breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and dinners.
