Menu Plan

I had a solid menu plan for the first time in a while last week and I cooked more that I have possibly all summer!  It is amazing what a little planning can do!  I am convinced that when I take the time, it SAVES me so much time throughout the week and we eat so much better!  In that spirit, here I go again!
