Fresh Weekly

Menus will help you create a grocery list for the week, so you don't over-purchase or forget what you need. 

Don't worry though, if you have to make adjustments. These menus aren't fixed in stone. Make the menu work for you. Days or meals can be swapped, and shuffled by the day because your grocery list should have allowed you everything you need for each meal all week long.

Fresh Inspiration

For fresh inspiration and motivation, pull out a stack of your favorite cookbooks and look for new recipes. Think of ways to combine your eating requirements and your families needs. 

Invite a few friends over for a "menu" sharing/planning brainstorming session get-together.  

Keep on the lookout for new items you can add to your food list. Such as Arnold multigrain sandwich thins, they are great toasted for a new sandwich twist. Although I don't eat a lot of bread, sometimes it's great for something new.  

Fresh Updates for the Tried and True

Continue to write down the foods that you like that are within the limits of your food phase plan. Keep your menu sheets in an on-going menu file for future meals and collect menus for each season.  Before long  you will have a great collection of menus to choose from. With a little tweaking, you can use them over and over each year.

Menus don't have to be a hassle, have a planning party and create your new life with menu planning. Yes, you can...you have many more miles to go!
