Menu Plan Monday

Okay -- so I'm slowly getting back to blogging after a 2 week hiatis.  I'm trying to establish a balance between my new (and more) work hours and my family/home.  Blogging has to take it's place after family, home and work.  Although it is my favorite hobby.

I've been slacking on the menu planning too.  I've planned for two or three days out instead of the whole week.  So, I'm trying to get back to a week now. 

Menu planning is the true secret to keeping your house running and keeping you on a budget.  I can always see a jump in food expenses when I don't menu plan.  But, menu planning can also be time consuming and sometimes boring, you just have to keep at it and don't beat yourself up if you slip sometimes.  Just get back on the menu horse!
