Start Searching! These are MY requirements for a recipe:
1) easy
2) no too much prep work
3) ingredients that are familiar, like what I would find in my shopping basket on a regular basis (1 or 2 different/un "normal" ingredients is fine. (Plays into not going WAY over budget!)
4) tastes amazing- liked by whole family! (maybe ONE brand new/different/going to try something new recipe for the week.)
I also like to hear that other people LOVE the recipes. Soooo, the website I've mentioned before, ORGJUNKIE.COM does a weekly menu and then she keeps track of the family favs HERE! What I find absolutely FABULOUS about this is that SHE is trying all the NEW/DIFFERENT things and I'M trying all the fool proof/ family loves it stuff!
I usually plan for 2 weeks worth of food (dinners) by adding some family MUST HAVES and a few new recipes that I'm SURE they'll LIKE!
I've attached the GROCERY LIST that I just made up. And as far as my MENU.. I keep it on my calendar. So, if you are needing a calendar for this purpose click HERE to make one.. or use your Microsoft Word program to make a cute customized one :)
TODAY, I went searching and found 9 amazing recipes to share.. here are the links... (or they will be included in the download below with the grocery shopping list!)

Thanks for the recipes and ideas!
Those look like some good recipes! I'm always looking for new but fairly simple things to try. Thanks!
I wanted to share the cute free menu planner I use and love. It also has a grocery list section, plus it looks cute on the fridge! Here's the link:

I love this idea! I need to be more organized for sure! Thanks for the awesome shopping list.
Hey!!
I'm including the link to one of my favorite ever recipes---it's a like a caramel dip...but that sounds so boring in comparison to what it really is. SOOO amazing. We dip strawberries in it and there's nothing like it.
now that my mouth is watering, here you go:

I do the same thing with the menu and the shopping list. But I write mine on the side of the refrigerator with a dry erase marker and then copy the grocery list in a note book with the necessary coupons attached. Thanks for the new recipe ideas! We are always looking for something new.
