ONE OF MY NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

is to simplify.
One area I either excel tremendously or fail miserably is meal planning.
If I have a plan, then my grocery shopping is better for our pocketbook and we have happy tummies in the household.
When I don't have a plan, our tummies, pocketbook and cupboards are miserable. You should see our cupboards now. They are pitiful....

I've completed a month of menus with recipes printed and in plastic sleeves in a binder, easily assessable for grocery list making and meal preparation.
Simplify you ask? That is where I'm hoping some of you will come in.
If a few of us do this and share, we won't have to "think" what's for dinner this week or next week and our grocery shopping will be easier because of it, etc...
You know me well if you know our household eats a lot of chicken.
Due to allergic reactions and not liking other meat by some members of the household (me on both accounts), all of my recipes are chicken or vegetarian based.
Most of the recipes could easily have meat preferences switched, which is what I would do to your menu too.
If you want to share a month's worth of dinner recipes let me know. I think if a few of us work together, this will be one easy "simplify" task.
What are some other ways you've been able to successfully simplify?.....
