Weekly Menu: January 23-29

One of the best things I have done since we have been married is create a weekly menu. I am not good at "creating" a meal from what I have on hand. I like to know that I have all of the ingredients I need before I start preparing a meal. Plus, it really helps me when doing my grocery shopping. I CANNOT shop without a list..just ask my husband!  This has come in even more handy since we recently moved from a town with two grocery stores and a Walmart, to a town with NOTHING of the kind! This is a very simple menu for the upcoming week. I usually sit down on a Thursday and create our menu.
