Whether you've found yourself in the same ole' same dinner routine or you're like me and constantly trying new recipes, I think we can all use some dinner time inspiration once in a while. I thought I'd share with you some of my favorite places to get menu ideas.
I've found that menu planning is one of those things that gets easier the more you practice it. I started forcing myself to start doing it about nine months ago, as I was getting ready to have my third baby. For me, cooking ahead type menu planning would never work. Our family doesn't eat those kind of meals, plus like I said above, I like trying new things!
Menu planning has helped make staying within my grocery budget easier, I waste less food and helps my days go a little smoother since I have a plan for dinner already in place.

My husband found mealplans4thefamily.com and for $60 got great meal plans for an entire year. I never though of paying for this, but it was worth it
