Menus on Mondays: 8/20/12

I have a Sunday routine: Clean, run, family time, write, menu plan, shop, family time, write.  Every Sunday.  And you know what my favorite part of Sunday is?  I should probably say family time, right? Well, of course I love my family and the time spent with them, but I also really love to menu-plan.  I’m a foodie.

Each week, I put my menu on the fridge for the week, along with the recipes, and excitedly cross off each recipe as it’s made.  Who doesn’t love to cross something off a list?  Friends that visit my home peer at my menus and ask me about how I’m making this or can they have a recipe for that.

Sure!  Absolutely!  In fact, my mission is to now provide you with:

Yep, I even made a little graphic for the event, which means, I’m pretty darn excited about it!

So, let’s get this party started!  If I’m tweaking a recipe, I’ll be sure to mention that next to the link, and also share if it’s vegetarian or vegan.  Oh, and if it’s a new recipe for me too, I’ll let you know.

Here’s to trying new things!
