Menu Plan Monday - First Full Week of 3 Moms ~ 3 Kitchens ~ 31 Days

For the month of May, my friends Toni (The Happy Housewife), Joy (FiveJs), and I are inviting everyone into our kitchens. We are calling our adventure 3 Moms, 3 Kitchens, 31 Days. All three of us are sharing our food budgets, grocery shopping, meals, recipes, successes and mishaps. So far it has been a wonderful adventure, and we invite you to come into our kitchens and follow along.


My menu plan this week focuses around making meals that can be doubled (or tripled) for the freezer to be eaten later in the month. This is my number one trick for sticking to my $300/month budget, and a once a month grocery shopping trip.
