The "What's for Dinner?" question perpetually frustrated me given I do love to cook. Any suggestions I came up with was staunchly met with "I don't like that!" or "I don't want that!". To the rescue is the weekly menu and not only that, I discovered I saved time, the family was involved in the choices (so they own it) and I actually saved money and significantly wasted less. Every menu included a sit round the table, effort and love meal, to the fend for yourself, or quick an easy because I don't have the energy. Best of all I had all the ingredients so there were there no last minute trips to the store. And if you are working on weight loss or healthier eating, this is a no brainer.
I actually have a gorgeous gold antique framed blackboard that serves as my menu board. But if you don't have such a treasure, here is a simple template you can use for your fridge (see bottom of page). My new weekly website add will be lunch and dinner menu ideas from newly added recipes and voted favorites that should make a regular appearance. And I must say, my blackboard is such a lovely dinner party idea.
