Monthly Meal Menu

I've decided to make a menu for a WHOLE MONTH! I was so excited to try this out. Actually I first started a 2 week menu and though "Why stop there??" Okay so I realized these pictures make my house look super unorganized but I promise it's organized! I promise!

I froze a lot of things like cut up carrots and celery. We wanted to make gumbo so I bought the chicken thighs and sausage and seperated it into 2 different bags cut up and ready for the gumbo!
I bought ALL the canned goods and things that i'll need for each meal. (Once again I really promise this is organized.) We have to use the "laundry room" for our pantry. It's so weird they give you a dryer but not a washer and NO PANTRY. We decided not to put a washer in so we could use it as a pantry/storage room. It's a tiny room so I've stuffed as much stuff in there as possible! But neatly organized of course. (Thanks mom!)
I first wrote down what I wanted to make each day for 2 weeks, then I pulled out the menu's and used my brain to decide how many canned goods we needed for each meal and then added tally marks next to each item, so I would know how much to gte! lol A lot of my recipes i've made up but some that I need recipes i've added into this file so I can look at it when cooking, and so I can always go back and see what I need for next month.


I got this Menu thing at Target for something around $1 or $2 or something outrageously cheap. I just drew a line down the middle so I can write 2 weeks at a time. We have dinner with our friends once a week or something so I've decided to erase what I made and leave whatever hasn't been made for the next week.

It's actually pretty simple to make a menu, and even easier to follow because everything is already there, you just need to make it! I just wanted to share my newest accomplishments with anyone who has been contemplating this!
