The more I talk to people about menu planning one common thing I hear is that people feel menu planning is too hard, takes too much time and they couldn't be bothered. Well how many times to you get home from work and know in a couple hours you have to be out the door again or come home and really can't think of what to make. How about when you finally think about what you and your family will eat and then realize you are missing ingredients?
The best part of menu planning is that you will save time, money and energy. Now some people like to plan a month in advance but I would say when you are first starting out to start a week at a time. Another great idea for beginners at menu planning is to sign up with a menu planning service. Menufortheweek.com is a menu plan service that takes all the work out of planning out your meals.
Menu For the Week gives you each week a menu consisting of 5 dinners, 1 dessert and a bonus recipe. It also includes a grocery list at the end for everything you will need for the week of menu's. This is great as it takes all the guessing out of what's for dinner. The only downside it you can't be a picky eater to use this. If you want you can download older menus and mix and match but then the grocery list will need to be adjusted.
There is also a new Menu for the Week for Vegetarians over on VegForTheWeek.com. Great options for both groups of eaters.
