** This thread discusses the Content article: Free Menus for Moms **



We’ve had serious trouble with meals on the road. With a smaller refrigerator and less storage
space our options are: be much more organized and plan ahead or run to the
grocery store every 2 or 3 days for food (which is not necessarily bad, think
of all the fresh foods we could be eating).
Lazy as we are, and not really wanting to do either of those, we found a
third option. We’ve been eating out
right and left! Unfortunately, it’s killing
our budget and our waistlines. So I determined to find a
way to solve this problem – to overcome my laziness and help save some money in
the food department. The answer…let
someone else do the planning, for FREE!
I found menus4moms.com, a fabulous
site run by a homeschooling mother (I love it when I can support other
homeschoolers). On this site you can
register to have FREE weekly menus e-mailed
to you, along with the recipes and
the shopping list! At first I was
skeptical. I don’t want to spend an hour
every day cooking (there’s that lazy thing again) and I wasn’t sure we’d be
able to store everything necessary for the week. Plus, with 2 kids that can be a little snooty
about unidentified “green stuff” in their food, I wasn’t sure if I’d be buying
things that would go to waste or if dinner time would turn into a power
struggle between me and my kids’ taste buds.
In the end, all of those worries were for nothing. The boys have loved everything on the
menu…everything. Even the meals with
unidentified green stuff. They’ve
sampled dishes that they haven’t eaten before and loved each of them. I’m thrilled.
They’re quick and easy to make and don’t require a lot of fancy
ingredients. (I guess it’s obvious that
I’m no gourmet cook. Oh well.) If you have the same problem, and often find
yourself wondering what’s for dinner, check out this site. It might be just what you need.
