PLANNING MEALS

I have not been menu planning and I realize I do like having a plan. I had earlier found a monthly meal planner from K State in Kansas. Here is the site: http://www.humec.k-state.edu/fnp/resources/materials/menus/Month_of_Menus.pdf This is a pdf document of about 73 pages. It lists resources such as equivalents, substitutions and such. I did not need that part but it is a great resource for a less experienced cook.
I read each page and found very few meals we would not enjoy. The grocery list is made for you. You can just cross off any items you may already have on hand.
I think when we come back from our mission trip I will give this month long plan a try.
