Taking a page from my sister in-law’s book and documenting my monthly meal plan.
Why, you ask?
Because it keeps me organized, with all the recipes in one spot instead of looking all over my Pinterest page and computer files. Also, it may help you get some ideas of a delicious meal to make for your family!
I love to cook for my family and I do it as often as I can. I am not a fancy chef by any means. I like meals that are simple and quick but also tasty! I love my crockpot. I like to try and mix up what we are having and I love to try out new recipes. You will also notice that often things like Frozen Pizza and Freezer Meals are thrown in. #realife
I have linked any that I have recipes for online so you can find them too! If it is a recipe I have made before and we love in our family, then it will be marked with (T&T) for Tried and True. It is’s new that we’re trying out, it will be marked with (New).
Happy Meal Planning!

So glad this is helpful! I get in ruts where I don’t know what to make and nothing sounds good. Then it’s not so fun. It does make life so much easier though!
