Menu Planning

So since we've sort of got ourselves into a nice work routine, I have been so lazy about getting a menu together for the week. This is so helpful because it'll eliminate spontaneous trips to the grocery store and I'm certain it'll help cut some of that spontaneous spending as well.

Before I got this job I was just too tired to put one together, and it was more of a "Do I feel like cooking today?" type of thing. Have any of you gone through that kind of rut?

But now, since we've got a good flow going - it's time to get on the ball and get organized!

I currently only have plenty of ground beef and chicken thighs to work with, as well as a ton of frozen veggies. I feel like I've already exhausted the usual go to meals with these proteins and honestly, the last 3-4 weeks were jam packed. So I'm gonna start checking out some newer recipes from all different kinds of sources and then get to sharing them on here.
