Monthly Menu

So, a friend of mine recently asked me to share how I plan my monthly menu. This is not a secret and it isn't something I made up on my own. I figured I would share here what I shared with her so others can benefit from some of the research I have done. It is a big task to plan a months worth of meals, but it is worth it. Here are the links I shared with her:

* The Pioneer Woman has some really yummy recipes that are NOT low cal. :) http://thepioneerwoman.com/
* Another site she started, but anyone can contribute to is http://thepioneerwoman.com/tasty-kitchen/
* Just a great all around site http://allrecipes.com/
* Another great site, especially with kids http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/main.aspx
* Great site for monthly meal planning. I don't like all the recipes, but some good ones and great help! http://www.monthlymenuplanner.com/
* Although this site does cost money, it is well worth it for what you get. http://www.e-mealz.com/

We do one big shopping trip per month and smaller trips each week for things like milk, eggs, produce, etc. Feel free to ask any questions or make comments. Good luck!
