Are you a faithful menu planner each week? Do you stick with it, follow it to a tee or have some flexibility? Either way I envy you!
I can't say that I am much of a planner when it comes to meals, wish I was better at it. I often have ideas of what we will eat each week and use my white board calendar in the kitchen for a tentative menu which often changes a few times. I have a ton of recipes and know what my family likes, I know what's in my freezer and so that's how it goes most of the time. 🙂
So this is my attempt to become better organized and hopefully just give you ideas for dinner as well.
Oh and you'll see only breakfast and dinners , no lunch included. Sorry!

Hi, I have been off sugar for many years now, and recently off sugar substitutes as I understand they are bad for you. It looks like your recipes are sweetened with products that are better for you?? I still have a sweet tooth and if I made any of your deserts would be too tempted to eat more then one lol.. I am interested in your book. do you sell it here or should I contact my local book store? Thank you for making everything look so nice. Leta Libby, Eugene Oregon

Thanks for this. I've planned weekly menu's before but find the task so overwhelming. However I like your idea of showing the weeks worth of breakfast and dinners separately . Maybe grouping the meal times together won't be such a chore for me. It must be one of those left brain, right brain things.
Also, I love roasted cauliflower and will have to try with the dressing. Thanks!

I'm the same...I have a general idea what we'll eat most of the week but not every day. I love the idea of developing a better menu plan. It might help me from splurging on too many calories for whatever sounds good and using the excuse that I didnt have a plan for dinner that night anyway. lol
