Menu Monday

Wylie was off to High Power Soccer camp this morning at our church thru the Awana program! He was so excited to go and I was so proud to see my budding athlete! I will post pics on Wednesday of his adventure.

Menu planning tips:
#3 - Buy in bulk, separate into smaller packs at home and freeze. 
Ex: I buy 6 gallons of milk in one trip to Costco and freeze it.  I also buy the large packs of hot dogs, american cheese, bread, lunch meat and butter. I put the hot dogs and cheese into smaller packs right away.
#4 - If you run out of something or need 1 thing to complete a recipe, DON'T run to the store.  Try to find a substitute or make a different recipe.  Impromptu trips to the store almost always end in buying more than you came for.  Plan ahead and have what you need on hand!
