Menu planning for busy moms Week One
There once was a time when I was the Organized mom and I actually had a menu plan. Well at least a dinner menu plan !
So this week I am determined to actually work with a dinner menu plan. I have narrowed it down to some easy, quick dinners based on whats in the cupboard meal ideas and tried to think about what I can double cook for later in the week.
I am also thinking I may start using someone elses menu plans for the following week (payday is next Wednesday which will allow me to shop based on the menu plans). So I have started looking for a few different menu plan groups and menu plan e books.
So onto sharing my menu plan for the week (I didn’t plan menus for lunches, as my children eat lunch at school and I eat left overs or just have cereal :) ! )

Breakfast – English muffins cheese slices (melted on top) oranges
Dinner – Spaghetti bread (bread machine dough) green salad *make extra ground beef for tomorrow
