Menu Planning

Normally when I menu plan, even if I do it a month at a time, each day of the week has a theme. It makes it a lot easier on me when I know Monday is Mexican, Wednesday is breakfast for dinner, Saturday is chicken night and well you catch the idea. To give you a better idea of what I mean here is a four week example of a past menu plan:

Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday
Italian Night	Slow Cooker	Chicken	Meatless	Beef	Breakfast	Soup/Salad
Baked Spaghetti	Bean and Potato Stew	Chicken Poulet	Tostadas	Meatloaf	Pancakes	Split Pea Soup
Chicken and Gnocchi Soup	Beef Tips and Rice	Enchiladas	Baked Potatoes and Salad	Pepper Steak	Biscuits and Gravy	Chef Salad
Pizza	Pot Roast	Chicken and Dumplings	Navy beans	Fajitas	French Toast	Broccoli Soup
Lasagna	Cheesy Bacon Chicken	Mongolian Chicken	Quesodillas, beans and rice	Burgers and Fries	Breakfast Casserole	Cowboy Stew

Having theme nights simplifies the dinner time rush and that works for me
