Today is going to be a good day, Monday or not.
I feel like, if I keep telling myself this, then just maybe, it will be.
Mind over matter right! :)
So over the weekend I thought it would be fun,
that along with my 5 for Five post on Monday's,
I would start something like a Menu Monday.
I've mentioned several times on my blogs about my menu's and grocery shopping lists.
I've mentioned how much of a pain in the rear-end it is,
and my love/hate relationship for cooking in general.
In a sick and twisted way, though, I kind of enjoy it all.
It makes me feel like I've accomplished something at the end of the day,
and that at least one small piece of my life is on track in an organized,
non-chaotic way.
Let me know if it something you are interested in, and if there are enough people who are interested,
we can do some sort of link-up, which is ALWAYS fun!
Okay, So last Friday I put my Menu and shopping list together,
and then, yes, I took the time to make up a cute menu on PowerPoint to put on my fridge.
My Menu Plan for the Week.

Side Note: I'm a Pinterest Recipe Fanatic
Now as usual, I don't go by this strictly.
This is only a guideline so I know exactly what I have that I can cook.
You'll notice on the bottom of my menu (picture above),
I have a space where I put "Optional Dinners".
This was for any dinners pushed over from the previous week.
This way we have lots of options for the week! :)
So what does your Menu look like for the week?

I REALLY need to start meal planning again. I do miss cooking sometimes. I honestly can't tell you the last time I made a meal though, my mom has been around and Nick does most of the cooking. I need to start eating better now that I'm not preggo anymore! My aversion to meat kept me from cooking for almost my entire pregnancy.
