I don't know when this crazy obsession for meal planning started, but one thing I do know is that it has worked for us the past ten years and it's about time I share my tips and tricks!


First things first, it’s all about the planning! I take my “menu ideas” list {the link is found on the sidebar to your right}, and plan out my entire month in advance on our calendar in the kitchen. What works best for us is the following:


Sundays = a nice meal

Mondays = chicken

Tuesdays = soup/pasta

Wednesdays = beef

Thursdays = fish

Fridays = Date Nights {i.e. no cooking}!

Saturdays = misc

This way we rotate meals so we aren’t stuck in a rut. I then take my “grocery list” {the link is found on the sidebar to your right} and make my shopping list for the next 2 weeks. Remember, initially this takes more time in the beginning, but then your entire month is planned and you won’t have to figure out what’s for dinner plus I promise it saves money on your grocery bill!

Turkey Roll-Ups























6-8 thick slices of turkey

1 pkg turkey stuffing

1 can turkey gravy


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make turkey stuffing by following the instructions on the box. Make roll-ups by placing a heaping spoonful of stuffing on a slice of turkey. Roll-up and put a toothpick in the middle to hold together. After all the roll-ups are made and placed in the baking dish garnish with left over stuffing and drizzle desired amount of gravy over top. Bake for 30 minutes.
