    Plan your menu from the Weekend Bites Link Party
     
    I have this friend, Jessica. We chat on Facebook every day, and we always end up back at the same question – What’s for dinner? She and I are both working from home – me here on Home Maid Simple, her over at The Beare Canvas. Today while we were chatting about the food we might make our kids, she pauses then types “You didn’t menu plan this week did you?”
     
    Nope. I sure didn’t. It’s becoming habit for me. No menu plans. In fast I count so much on her asking me what’s for dinner, and then giving me some great inspiration that I don’t see much need to menu plan. Oh wait. Nope. Most of her inspiration would require a quick run to the store, because when you don’t plan a menu, you rarely have exactly everything you need for a meal. She saved my bacon tonight, and helped walk me through turning a leftover casserole into a delicious soup – more on that another time. 
     
    You know what? You don’t have to be like me! I don’t even have to be like me! Because we’re awesome and most of our menu planning has been done for us every Thursday night right here! This week, I grabbed this days menu straight from all of you. It took me 5 minutes to click on the links and decide if it was something my kids would eat. The answer is a mostly yes, but hey I like to make them try new things.
