This really cool girl I know had an idea to ask people for a weekly menu complete with recipes and a shopping list. She's is going to combine all the lists and hand them back to everyone. I'm so excited and can't wait to see the other lists.
I just go done with my list and thought I would post it here. I used recipes from this website so I will just link back to them. If anyone else wanted to do the same, I would love to add their shopping list and recipes here. Even if one night is left overs, and another pb & j. Just having it all written out, what is needed for the week, would be fabulous. I hate compiling shopping lists. With all that I am, I hate it!!!!!!
So here's my list. I tried to keep it cheap, easy, and realistic to what we would eat. Most of these recipes work for my family of 6. I made a note when I needed to double or triple the recipe as it is listed.
