Wasn’t it just a few days ago that I posted the April Menu? And, here I am posting May already. Last month I told you about Little Miss Know It All, and her solution for monthly meal planning, she has 2 menus, one for the Fall/Winter and one for Spring/Summer. Most of the meals for May are repeats from April, I am trying what she suggests and just repeating the menu. However, I did want to change a few things so that I could try some of the awesome recipes that I have been reading on the blogs that I visit.
You can also find my March Menu Plan here.

Every Monday, I post my meals for the week and I do a re-cap of how I did with my budget the week before. I try to stick to my plan as best as I can, but, as you all know, kids and life sometimes get in the way. That is one reason I like having a plan. If I forget to get the meat out of the freezer, I can just jump to another night and make that dinner.
I think one of the first steps to being frugal and saving money is to meal plan. I know for myself, if I don’t know what we are having for dinner, I usually end up getting behind schedule and just giving in and running to the closest fast food joint.
You can find most of my recipes on my Mixing Spoons page and I try to post the plan for dinner on the What’s For Dinner page.

Wow. You “crazy ladies” who plan a month at a time… that’s just a little too organized for my random brain.
Inspiring, though!
Amy, that’s too funny! Monthly meal planning doesn’t work for everyone, but it does for this “crazy lady.”
