Menu Plan for the month

I don't know about you but I love to plan.  It makes me feel prepared which makes me feel calm and in control and even if things don't turn out exactly like I planned... I still like having a plan in place.  I enjoy making up menu plans for the month because it helps me shop for only what we need to buy instead of buying random items and we tend to eat better when we have THE PLAN in place.  I also don't get asked, "What's for dinner?" anymore because they can find out by looking on the fridge where we post it.  I also love the change of seasons and how that affects our meals.  Have you seen the colors are starting to change along the Wasatch Front?  Gorgeous! 

Anywho... We're pretty simple folk so I like fast, cheap and easy because that works for a mom with five kids.  BTW, my kids LOVE breakfast for dinner so for that reason they usually inhale all the food in our fridge before Saturday night just so they can have waffles.
