Printable Grocery Lists with Twitter Search Requests

This week, I tried something new with the printable grocery lists. I searched on Twitter for people who were cooking dinner and read what they were cooking. Then, I used those menus for the basis of this week's printable grocery lists and menus. This is so fun to be the weekly menu planner. I'm learning to plan better for my family as I offer this service to others. I love my new cookbook and I'm learning new recipes as well. YUM! I can't wait for this week. We've got some great ideas from some twitter folks. The recipes are from the Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book 14th Edition.

Got My New Cookbook Just In Time for Favorites and Requests

I just got my new cookbook. Yay! Now, we're all on the same page with the current edition of Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook. So, send me your favorites and requests for this month. I'll include them. Then, your family will thank you for cooking such great meals. Remember, the recipes don't have to come from the cookbook, but give me a link to where I can find them if they don't. Thanks a ton and I'm looking forward to this month's requests and favorites. My kids are already giving me ideas.

Printable Grocery Lists for Spring Menus

Printable grocery lists and online menus are finally ready. This week, we will be having some of my favorite foods, including pot roast, taco salad, chicken enchiladas, and more. I have come to realize that my cookbook is outdated and there is a newer version with different recipes and different pages, so I've ordered the new cookbook and I'll begin using that one as soon as it arrives. Sorry about the inconvenience and confusion. The page numbers for all recipes so far are from the 1996 edition of the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook. When I ordered my new cookbook, they were having an offer where you can apply for an Amazon credit card and get $30 credit, which would make your book free with credit left over for another book. Pretty good deal. I don't know how long they're doing that special. So, here are the printable grocery lists and menus for this week.
