I actually cook, but I'm usually running around last minute trying to figure out what to make.

I plan a menu for the week, but 8 weeks would be awesome. Do you plan lunch too or just dinner?

I am in a total slump and don't menu plan at all! Part of my problem is no matter what I fix, someone doesn't like it. I keep telling myself I need to plan a month at a time, but making the time to actually do it -- well, that hasn't happened yet! :) Thanks for the ideas.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08373003383616880379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-793019708668617791.post-3228064259212830442008-08-27T17:02:00.000-05:002008-08-27T17:02:00.000-05:00OK Amber, this is why I love you and will love you...OK Amber, this is why I love you and will love you forever. Nothing makes me smile more than a laminated chart of any kind. It makes my cute publisher calendars with my penciled in meals for the week look very sad in comparison. When I don't work anymore, I plan to develop an access database with all of my recipes that will auto generate shopping lists and calendars. I am dreaming of that day! - AngelaAngelaWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13536247029152056424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-793019708668617791.post-53625011927501229342008-08-27T12:24:00.000-05:002008-08-27T12:24:00.000-05:00You're going to have to make sure you post the rec...You're going to have to make sure you post the recipes for some of those, like the SW chicken and black beans-YUM.

I swear I have adult onset ADD and I literally flit from task to task, room to room and never finish one thing it seems! And this menu idea for them, too? This is so right up my alley girl! Love it!!! And boy oh boy do your menus look yummy. I want to be your next door neighbor!!!

If I was a millionaire-I would HIRE you to do all of this for me and the shopping(because I have a love/hate relationship thing going on with Super Walmart right now- food is a necessity but I don't like to shop for it). You continue to amaze me. You are my organizational hero.condiefamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08122023793819975012noreply@blogger.com
