Menu Plan Monday 3/8 to 3/14

It's that time of the week again. It's time to plan the weekly menu. If you don't already do so, I encourage you to start. Menu planning is a great way to save money in the kitchen. Knowing what meals you plan to cook with the ingredients in your house helps prevent the chaotic "What's for dinner?" moments at rush hour. It gives you a game plan on which to base your meals. It keeps you from relying on the drive-through or the pizza delivery man.

Need help coming up with an exciting menu? An easy menu? A frugal menu? Go visit some of the weekly participants of Menu Plan Monday over at I'm an Organizing Junkie.
