So here we are already…time for another Monthly Menu Plan. Wow! Is it really almost September? Can someone please slow down the time?

Even though I’m a Summer gal, love the Summer, love the heat…I do also love Fall, especially for the comfort foods and the baking possibilities. All the delicious apples and pumpkins…Mmmm, I can hardly wait!

I’ve decided to streamline my Monthly Menu a little more, and add a theme to each day of the week.  Mondays ~ Quick & Easy/Crockpot, Tuesdays ~ Breakfast/Make-Ahead, Wednesdays ~ Mexican, Thursdays ~ Italian, Friday ~ Kid Friendly, Saturdays ~ New Recipe, Sundays ~ Family Meal. By adding the themed nights, it’s made my menu planning even more simply than it already was.

I recently received a copy of the Copykat.com’s Dining Out Cookbook, we have chosen several to add to our September Menu Plan. I’ve also added a few meals from Delicious Dishes Linky Party over on Blog Party, some old Fall favorites and a few that I’ve seen around the web recently that sound really yummy! I’d love for you to join us at Blog Party, the party starts every morning at 7 a.m.
