I didn't get any recipe review's for last weeks recipe, so we'll skip right to it!
You need to make your grocery list today to prepare for shopping tomorrow. Begin by planning out your meals from this Friday-next Thursday! A nice tip is try to make Thursday's meal something that will go in the crockpot or at least something quick since shopping day will keep you out of the house and pretty tired by the end!
Next, you need to remember your snack, breakfast and lunch items. Also, go through your house and see if you're in need of any staples, like toilet paper.
Remember to sort your coupons and look at the flier from you local grocery store to see if any of the items that you use regularly are on sale and you have a coupon for them. Remember, things that are constantly used, even if you're not out yet, should be bought when you can get them at a discounted price! Its so budget friendly!!
We'll use yesterday's guest post as our recipe for this week. So check it out, get it added to your list and SEND ME THOSE REVIEWS!! Anything you make off of this site, even if the week has passed can still be reviewed and sent to me. I'll post it whenever I can!
How did your meal planning go? Did you use Recipe Zaar at all?

Wednesday's Meal Planning
First of all, I missed yesterday's post due to illness. I'm still not at 100% today, but I'm here!
Wednesday's are one of the most important days in my house. It's the day that I plan the meals for the following week. I grocery shop on Thursdays, so I plan all of my meals from Friday-Thursday.
There are many recipe websites out there, but I almost always use Recipe Zaar.
Recipe Zaar is a great website that I highly encourage you check out. It's free, but you can upgrade to a premium membership for only $25 for an ENTIRE year! It's such a great deal! I use their "Shopping List" feature, which takes my meals that I've planned from that website and puts them onto a list, then I can add or delete any items I want, print it out, and voila! I'm ready to shop! It's one of the premium features, but HIGHLY recommended.
If you can't find what you're looking for on Recipe Zaar (which would shock me) just do a Google search and try your luck. Also, if you have a ton of cookbooks that you never open...that would be a great starting point too!
So take a few minutes to sit down and think about what you've been feeding your family. If you have a ton of favorites that's great! But don't feed those same dishes to them every single week! Try some new things!! At least one new recipe/week is a great start! At my house, we eat something new almost every night of the week. Only about once/month will we have a repeat recipe.
Also, today while you're making out that grocery list(dont forget lunch and snack items!) make out a list of any other errands you need to run tomorrow. Getting all of this done today, makes errand day run so much smoother!
To get you started, here is a great recipe! I encourage everyone to try it this week and email me your reviews! (You'll find that address listed under "Doorbell" in the sidebar) I will post the reviews next Wednesday so that others who did not try the dish can see what everyone else thought. Also, remember to send in any of your recipe ideas!! They may be featured in upcoming weeks!
