Default Making a Menu
Does anyone make a weekly menu? I usually do but never follow it. Do you always follow yours?

Never - making a menu for me is like New Year's Resolutions - out the window as soon as it is thought of! LOL

LOL...I used to try to use a menu especially to go grocery shopping. It didn't help. We would still pick up alot of items that weren't on the list. I can't even remember the last time we follwed the menu.

I never make a menu and even if I did, I'm sure I wouldn't follow it. I never know what sounds good until right before I start cooking.

I guess you could say that if I have the ingredients in the house, then it's on the menu and fair game for dinner.

We are like that as well. I will take out hamburger or steak for my husband to cook and he will call me telling me that we are having chicken instead cause he doesn't have a taste for hamburger or steak. LOL..I guess it happens to alot of us.

We've never tried making a menu - actually I never even thought about it! Would be a good idea, as it would definitely help us plan ahead with grocery shopping. We sometimes stop daily at the grocery store - as we just figure out what we want day to day.

I agree that it is so hard to stick by. I am hoping to get back on track and start it again. This might help us from eating out so much and from wasting food.

How's this - you say that it would help you from eating out - what do you like to eat out? Duplicate the restaurant menus and make it yourself! For example - If you like Pizza Hut one night a week - make it yourself at home - it's much cheaper. Olive Garden? Make it yourself. And so on........ You can duplicate any recipes - need help - give a holler! I'll help you as best I can.

And you can make it in quantity so that you can freeze some for the following week or so to have again!

Youd basically repeat the menu sometime and then youd get bored with the routine and scrap it
