So once again I got out of the habit of making a grocery list/menu every 2 weeks. For the past couple months I’ve been scrambling the morning I head to the store to find/print my coupons and put the finishing touches on an only partially functional menu. I’m going to try to get back on task and start doing a better job of menu planning and house keeping. Now I just have to keep myself following my menu and each week will go by smoother without me standing in the kitchen trying to decide what I can make with the frozen lump of meat I forgot to thaw…
In the housekeeping department I’m planning to keep up on my kitchen a bit better and put the laundry away rather than let it sit, often times already folded, in the laundry baskets for days. I’ve already started making the beds each day and trying to get most of my daily chores like laundry done in the morning so I can have more time to knit and spin later.
Here’s the menu for the next couple weeks. Trying out some new recipes as well as some new family favorites. I’m also trying to use the meat that I’ve got stored in the freezer rather than buying a ton more. My grocery list this time around is filled with lots of necessities that I don’t normally buy on a regular basis (things that usually last for a bit like salt, peanut butter, honey and maple syrup…I’m trying to keep the bill down under $250.
