Well I have to say, I am sold on this weekly menu planning thing. And not just the planning, but the posting it to my blog so I can check it on my iPhone wherever I am.
The food side of life feels so much easier now, and that's freeing me up to do other things like garden and paint our master bedroom.
I'm also spending way less on groceries and wasting less food. Bonus!
