Making A Weekly Menu

When Lydia and I got married, we found it easier to plan out the week with a food menu. It helped on shopping and gave us an idea of what we were having throughout the week. Of course, the menu could change and we might swap meals on different days. The main benefit is knowing what to get at the grocery store. Eight years later, and we still make a menu.

I like it because there are certain days I look forward to. Yum! Thursdays and Fridays tend to be the meals that are more ‘grand’, since we can find more time to prepare them.

Making a menu also balances out what we eat. We don’t have noodles back to back, or chicken throughout the week.

When we first started, the menu was listed on the fridge. However, that has changed over the years, and now it’s electronic! We use google calendars which we can access by our cell phones, laptops, tablets... It sure helps!
