I have to give a shout out to Jane Maynard at This Week for Dinner . Jane, who is a graphic designer and mom of two kiddos, started this blog a little over a year ago to help her plan weekly menus for her family. It's grown from that to a great place to "dish" about food and other food related topics, plus other ideas. She encourages all her readers to plan a weekly menu on Sunday and then post it in the comments. I have been menu planning every week for about 4 years so it was fun to run across her site. Here are her top reasons to menu plan every week:
1. It makes your life a lot less chaotic in the afternoon. You know what you're making for dinner, and you don't have to just "throw something together" at the last minute.
2. Going to the grocery store is much easier and you save money. Who doesn't like to save money, especially lately?!
3. (This is my reason) It's been proven that families that eat dinner together have well adjusted and smarter kids who have better nutritional habits.
Okay, so why the initial shout out and title of this post? Jane does random give aways, and I WON THE GIVEAWAY THIS WEEK! I am getting a super cool tray from Deadly Squire. Thanks so much Jane and Deadly Squire, and if you haven't already, check out Jane's website at This Week for Dinner!
