Every Sunday afternoon, usually after a nice brunch, while Husband is having a game on the Playstation I do my best to browse my cookbooks & the web for recipes for my Weekly Menu Plan. I get my notepad out, make a shopping list & choose a new menu printable to have for the week (I'm def one of those who has to change my downloads up every week, it's so fun!). I do find that it inspires me to be creative with our weekly meals & def makes us stick to our nightly dinner plan instead of having meals out every other night....that can get expensive in San Francisco, esp on our street! It gives us a game plan for weeknights (not that we don't throw in the towel and decide on a meal out some nights because that's always super fun and breaks up the routine midweek) but it keeps us on track a lot more than without it. There are so many fun templates that I've found on the web so I've included a few of my FAV downloads! Enjoy :)
