Meal Plan For January

January 3, 2015 By Beth Cranford 14 Comments

My one goal this year is to stick to the food budget. My go-to strategy is to use my monthly meal plan.

It’s time to share my monthly meal plan. But first… Happy New Year! Have you written your goals for the year? I haven’t gotten very detailed with my goals this year like I usually do. I think it’s because instead of lots of separate goals, this year I have one goal. I’m determined to do…

Meal Plan for July 20-26

I’m so confused right now! I’m sitting here in Tennessee, (oppressively hot Tennessee)  in the middle of July, writing a post about the meals we’re planning this week. You know, summer meals; light, cool, nothing that heats up the house … And I’m wearing a sweater! It’s unseasonably cool here. People are joking about getting their…

Meal Plan for July 13-19

I have to say, I’m really enjoying this “seasonal meal plan” thing I’ve been doing lately. Last night I was thinking about all the stuff I have to do today (let me just say right here that even if I had two days, I could never get it all done… but I can try!) I…
