Weekly Menu Planner

Hey, it's your weekly menu planner, at it again. I'm creating delicious online menus and printable grocery shopping lists so your week can go a little better and you'll have one less thing to fret about. If you'd like to know when the next menu is out, you can subscribe to my blog and it will be sent to your e-mail. Then, it's off to the grocery store to buy your groceries and come back knowing you won't have to go back until next week. I have a family of 6 and 1 teenager. You can adjust amounts according to your family size. I use the recipes from Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book, so if you don't have a copy, I recommend getting one.

  1. Hi Amy,
    I have to get a new Better Homes and Gardens cookbook ( my copy is falling apart)and I think after 30 plus years, the recipes have changed somewhat too !

    I am happy to report that 2 of my followers have subscribed to your blog and 1 is a new follower ( Tracy ) Your blog is just too good to not promote and saves us all time meal planning...thank you so much !

  2. Hey Amy,

    I also make Salmon patties - one of my favorites: can of Salmon, one egg, ground up crackers, onions and red peppers (mild variety). Mashed potatoes topped with margarine and cooked peas.

    I will use your menus once or twice a week.

    Thanks,

    Jeff Polhill
