Menu Planning

I try to plan menus by week of what we will have for dinner each night.  It helps so we don't waste too much food and if we are too busy we can plan to eat out.

This week's menu:

Monday - we are on our own, I have a meeting to attend.
Tuesday - spaghetti and meatballs - a comfort food I was craving
                I am going to use jarred sauce and some frozen meatballs for ease of preparation.
Wednesday - Tilapia packets, recipe from Woman's Day magazine
Thursday - Asian Baked Chicken, recipe from All You magazine
Friday - not sure yet, maybe homemade pizza, maybe eat out....

I often peruse magazines for new recipes.  My favortie magazine is All You.  It has recipes, menu planners, coupons, and lots of good tips and tricks articles.

I also tend to peruse in the grocery store Woman's Day and Women's World.
