Its time again for Menu Plan Monthly!

Last Month’s menu plans went out the window because Madeline needed to be admitted to the hospital.  Everything turned out fine, but it was a stressful beginning for October!  Sohere is my attempt to get back on track for November!  I remember that I really liked having a list of snack items, so I am including that again this month!

This method helps prevent those weekly repeatmeals that happen when you get in a cooking rut!  And it leaves me theflexibility of  “up all night with the baby, stuck inside because itsraining, I NEED SOMETHING EASY for dinner” days too!  I just look at the list and pick what I want to cook — rather than stand there in the kitchen with the fridge and all the cabinets open trying to decide!

Note: I am not including Thanksgiving dinner in my menu, because I am unsure of our plans!  We may be hosting some friends, perhaps potluck style, or simply our family.
