Meal Planning


So the Farmgirl Sisterhood entries on Knowing Your FoodRecipes, and Organic on a Budget aren't the best.  Knowing your food, eating local, and going organic/unprocessed is great, but there's no need to be a busybody to other people about it.  Compiling your family recipes is a sweet idea...if you have a family. And Organic on a Budget is more about shilling her baking mix than anything.  

Let's see if we can keep this simple and efficient.  According to legend Ethel Kennedy had a three week rotating meal plan.  Let's keep the idea and do her one better.:

Requirements:

1 - Compile a notebook with 24 recipes for dinner type meals (we have salad every day for lunch & my husband is only home for dinner 4 nights a week) 

- Make at least 75% of them Paleo/Primal (No grains/beans/processed carbs)


- Make at least 25% of them with at least six servings

2 - Using this notebook plan 6 weeks of menus

3 - Using the plan create six weeks of grocery lists.

4 - Rotate through the plan twice, for a total of twelve weeks
