Menu Plan for the Week ~ With a Fun Menu Planning Resource Announcement

October 26, 2014 by Laura 2 Comments

Last week’s new (to me) menu planning idea worked out pretty well! I loved the flexibility, knowing I could make anything on the list for any meal of the week.

The great thing about menu planning is that there are so many ways to go about getting yourself organized. One thing is for sure though – menu planning always saves money, time, and energy. This is why I talk about it so often here and share my menu plans with you.

Want to know a little secret? It’s about menu planning, and it’s different from anything we’ve offered here before.

We’re almost finished creating a really fun menu planning resource packet to add to our shop. It’s full of printables for you to pick and choose from. Then based on your needs and preferences, you build your own menu planning notebook. It’s a never ending resource of fun and organization. Who says menu planning can’t be FUN!?!?!?!

Coming early November…

Build Your Menu Planning Notebook 550x

That’s a sneak peek at the cover of the “Build Your Menu Planning Notebook” packet. More details to come as we finish it up and offer it for sale. I can’t wait to share more about what this is like. Watch for it soon!

In other news around the Coppinger household, we are still buried under apples. It’s a wonderful and tasty “problem” to have. :)  I made 17 more quarts of Applesauce this weekend. Then I mixed up 9 quarts worth of Apple Pie Filling. Instead of canning the filling, I froze it in bags. This girl, if you can believe it, is almost out of jars! That’s what happens when you are having a fantastic produce year!

I also made a big Apple Crisp for a Fall Festival at church Saturday night. Apples, apples everywhere!

    I love creating my weekly menu without specific assigned days. It really helps out when you do not know how your days are going to be. There are some days you just don’t have time and others you just don’t feel like doing a lot of cooking.

    We were able to snag fresh califlower at the Farmers Market, going to try the Cheesy Califlower Cakes this week. Yum!
