Friday's Fast Fix Tip! Menu Planning!

Do you hate menu planning? Wish it could be easier?

Well, actually ... it CAN!
...
I'm not a great cook ... honestly, I don't even LIKE to cook! "It's a dirty job but somebody has to do it," is how I look at it. And being that someone DOES have to do it and that someone is usually me, you KNOW I do it the easiest way I can! LOL!

One site that I have found to make menu planning easier is allrecipes.com. All I have to do is see what's on sale that week at my local grocer and then look up recipes using those ingredients! Easy-peasy! Plus, almost every recipe has been reviewed by real folks like you and me so you know ahead of time if the dish is a star or a dud. Best of all? .... It's FREE!!!

If you've never used the site before, I encourage you to check it out when doing your menu planning for the upcoming week. Grab your grocery ads for the best deals, look up recipes with those ingredients and make up your grocery list as you go along!

This is an EXCELLENT TV Watching Activity, by the way!
