I just added two recipes on my recipe blog for those that follow that. I got my menu project done for January and have decided to write it down in this blog. I'm sure it won't be of interest to anyone but maybe it will give you some ideas for dinner. When I make a menu, I usually follow it but I'm not very strict with it. Sometimes I switch around days but a menu helps with the question, "What shall I make for dinner tonight!!" You know, I really don't feel like I'm that remarkable of a cook but after making dinner for 15 years, 365 days a year, I do know how to cook a little bit!

You're good, Kari! I can barely make it through a week without repeating dinner. I might just snag a few of your ideas...
Love it! On the occasion that I plan ahead, I always end up changing things because I "feel" like eating something else...but I agree, it's nice to have plans on hand, and ingredients in the pantry.
This really is a great way to beat the "what's for dinner" game. Not only does it save you time in figuring out what's for dinner, but it saves you money too because you go to the store with certain food items in mind so you don't buy mindlessly and end up buying more than you need (and spending more than you meant) because it "sounded good" at the time. I have found it much easier to stick to the food budget when my meals are planned out. Great job planning for the whole month too.
Thanks everybody for your kind comments!
MMmmm....Sounds tasty. By the way, I loved your homemade pizza!! I'll need to get your recipe for the pizza dough. I'm glad I got the pizza instead of the Lentil soup ;)!! HAA!
