Organize it Monday – Organize Dinner Time Review & Giveaway “Menu for the Week”

By

I know dinner can be a challenge and I know most of you probly have no clue what’s for dinner till 5pm hits and then everyone scrambles and runs and “OMG… what am I gonna cook for subber”…. I know we’ve all been there.

For one I used to go to the grocery store every Sunday and buy whatever I think we want and need ( long time ago bef. my coupon obsession..smile), then each night hubby called me at the office asking “What’s for subber?” He cooks most of the dinners during the week, he loves to cook and he also gets home hours before I do, so it works out.

I did notice that if we didn’t make a Menu Plan each week, he would cook whatever he felt like and maybe the same meal twice a week, didn’t matter what we had bought at the grocery store, and slowly we got into the same ol’ rud each week, fried chicken, fried pork chops, spaghetti and so on.. it gets old and honestly expensive….

So we started a Meal Plan each week and we been doing this a good 9 month now and it works wonders… We eliminated the last minute Fast Food run totally, we enjoy new meals almost every night and we spend less money at the grocery store… best part I know what we will have for dinner each night and no phone calls “what’s for dinner”…. I love it…

That brings me to how to plan your menu, that can be another challenge and sometimes a hassle each week. I do not like to make a plan each week, I push it off till the last minute before I go to bed on Sunday night, I just don’t like it. But once it is done, I LOVE it.I came across a wonderful website that will even take the “hassle” out of the planning for you. Menu for the Week.com will create a new menu each week including the grocery list and e-mail you the menu plan on Thursday. That’s soo simple, you just print it out take your list to the store and you are done. All you now have to do is cook it each night and dinner is served.

Dawn is the mastermind behind Menu for the Week.com she even has a BLOG called The Meal Planning Mom that will give you tips and ideas; Dawn’s Menu for the Week has been featured in many magazines like Redbook, All You Magazine and many others including TV morning shows, check her out HERE.

What a wonderful idea she had and it really is a time saver for any busy mom. The meals are delicious and easy to prepare. Once you give her meal Planning a try you will never go back to “What’s for dinner”…. I have some of Dawn’s wonderful recipes on my Menu Plan for this week, so check it out HERE and give them a try for yourself.

Menu For The Week is a super affordable service that creates a stress free meal plan for the entire week!

  4. I have been trying to do this myself and this would be such a time saver. This is my year to get organized and save as much time for myself and family as possible. Thanks for the chance!

  9. I am in desperate need of help getting myself organized with meal planning. I just wing it most nights. Help!

  11. I would like to win the membership because I need some new ideas! I am good about making a weekly menu, but would like to see what someone else puts together. :o)

  32. I’d like to win this because honestly, I’m pathetic about meal planning! My husband isn’t much better, though he does give it a good effort. We end up eating out WAY too often, which is horrendously expensive and probably not all that healthy, either – though we do try to avoid fast food.

  34. I would like to win Menu for the week membership because I would love to sever more dinner selections. Our menu is limited with the selections we serve.
