For the last couple of years I have stuck to a 2 week meal plan to make it easier for grocery shopping and having a set meal for each night instead of wondering what's for dinner. Before I started this there was always the disagreeing and indecisiveness between the husband and I of what to eat and I just got sick of it. I stick to specific things, just change up the recipes and sometimes add something a little different in. I do a pasta, mexican, chicken, fish, crockpot dish, and leftovers each week. It has also saved me on spending too much money at the grocery store since I have a list of exactly what I need and then I'm not running to the store every couple of days. Anyway, I put my menu at the bottom of this post from the last 2 weeks and also referenced the recipes I used if you'd like to copy my plan. :) I didn't remember to snap a picture of every meal but I did get a few!
