Weekly Menu Planner

  2. I forgot to ask in my previous comment... Do you plan for a family of 9 ? Any teenagers, especially boys...they eat as much as grown men !

    BTW,
    Your Menus and shopping lists would make a great book but I am grateful for the ideas you give us here online...it can get pretty boring cooking the same things all the time...Love the variety...also that you use leftovers and healthy foods !
