Ever since I started hearing "didn't we just have that?" I decided something needed to be done. I ran across a blog that suggested putting together a list of 30 meals your family likes and then rotating through them each month so you never have the same thing more than once each month. I really liked the idea and have wanted to put it together for my family, but it's been slow going. I've finally made a list of meals, and I was surprised that I came up with more than 30 (the hardest part of dinner for me is coming up with something). I've made a monthly calendar, just so I don't repeat anything too close to the prior months meals. It's been great because I don't have to agonize over what to make for dinner anymore!
I'm also attempting to make it easier on our budget and quicker by trying to figure out what things I can buy in bulk, or on a good sale. I'm really good at buying things on sale and then never using them. I want to build our food storage, but I want to fill it with things we actually use and eat. So, this blog is a place for me to keep track of my recipes. I want to post each recipe with a shopping list included. Hopefully I can get it organized enough to be able to do a big shopping trip for bulk/food storage items at least once a month or so-I really want to take advantage of case lot sales for once!
So, there's my goal, now lets see how long it takes to reach it!
