First I want to say a HUGE thank you to the people that share there menu with me here. I Love it!! Lately the menu post have been my favorite post to work on b/c I can't wait to see if anyone will share their menu back. You better believe that some of the things on your menus will be showing up on my menus soon. Thanks again you make my day!
In the interest of full disclosure I feel like I should tell you that I rarely make all of the things on my weekly menu. I've been thinking for a while now that I might want to mention this, but hadn't made time to do so. A comment I got yesterday made me realize maybe it was time to share the truth about my menus.
When I plan my menus I do it a month or more at a time; and I don't do it for any week in particular. So every menu is constructed as if we were going to eat at home every night. Then reality hits and we go out to supper one night or we plan and impromptu shopping trip or I thought I had an ingredient that apparently I only bought in my imagination. Two weeks ago when the kids were sick I only made ONE of the things on my menu. Tonight I won't be making Ham and Cheese Crescent Sandwiches, because I will be partying at Bunco. (Steve always makes what he refers to as his and Levi's bachelor meal of grilled cheese and tomato soup on bunco night.) When things like that happen I just take the unused recipes and put them to the side and tack them on to my next menu planning session.
That's it my dirty little menu secret that I needed to share. I feel better, don't you?
Thanks for reading.
