I go grocery shopping just a couple times a month for a couple of reasons.
1. It's just not fun, sometimes it is, but typically not so much.
2. We are always on a time crunch to get there and get back before either naps or feeding times. Then a race to get kids fed and groceries unpacked.
3. Germs, yup I'm a germaphobe!
4. It frees up a whole morning the off week!
With that being said, I have to make a two week menu. This usually takes me forever!! At least a couple of hours. I look thru a LOT of recipes before I decide what I want on my menu. Many recipes I make only once and a lot of other recipes I will reuse, just not very frequently. (Which has been a problem when it comes to finding the recipe... some are pinned, some are in a magazine somewhere, some are printed and put in a binder, some are in my recipe box!)
The really big problem is when I lose my menu! They are typically written on the back of a used envelope or inside a notebook, so can be easily thrown out or lost. I keep thinking I should make the menu on my blog. It never gets lost and maybe I would go back and reuse a menu!?!? You just never know :-)
So here it goes, the blogs first 2 week menu!!
