January Meal Calendar

(Photo credit: Wikipedia)

I like to sit down and plan a month’s worth of meals, that way when the day comes I don’t even feel like thinking about food, I can refer to my list. The decision’s already been made.

This also helps me build my grocery list. Breakfast and Lunch are usually simple and easy ( eggs, sandwich, soup, or oatmeal ) so I don’t plan those.

Blue marked meals mean its the week my stepson is with us, so I choose things I know he will eat ( or we can at least get him to try ).

I am attempting to move towards more healthy meals filled with veggies and more proteins and less creams and carbs. Big M wants to lose some weight, and the only way that’s going to happen is by changing our dinner menu.

I bought a 7 Qt. dutch oven and I plan on getting some good use of it this year!
