I really do enjoy planning, organizing, and preparing for my family. I'm pretty sure that one of my love languages is FOOD. If I can feed someone, I feel like I am loving them. I love to create, experiment, and savor delicious meals that were made with my own hands. Bonus points for me.....it saves a TON of money at the grocery store when I'm not making multiple trips for that forgotten ingredient. Since I shop out of town, I can also plan ahead to get my groceries on a day that I'm already out of the house so I don't waste gas with unnecessary trips.
I planned November's menu yesterday while I had a good chunk of uninterrupted time. I hope this will encourage you to think about what you feed your family and maybe sit down to plan a few meals of your own!

28- Anniversary Party for Grandpa and Grandma Lourens!
29- Burgers, Tater tots, corn, celmentines

* Disclaimer! Life happens and sometimes I end up not making a meal because we have more leftovers than I planned, Kendall works late and I make PB&J, or I under cook something and we call for take out. But, I never waste ingredients and save them for the next month or incorporate them into a different meal. That's the beauty of having a freezer and being flexible.
