Menu Plan Monday

Menu planning is definitely not my strong suit. However, as I'm attempting to bring peace and organization to our home, I've started planning our weekly meals again. Plus I was tired of never having enough of something to put decent meals together. So here's what we're eating this week along with my grocery spending. I went a little over my $75 weekly budget. I didn't check items on hand before shopping and got extra eggs and onion which weren't needed.
