July Menu {Printable}

Can i make a confession?!

I absolutely HATE menu planning!

How I've been doing it is spending Thursday & Friday evenings menu planning the next week out, then i would write my grocery list, and then i would spend Saturday morning doing my grocery shopping for that week.

It was really becoming overwhelming and it felt like i was pretty much making the same foods every week.

So what i decided to do was sit down and write out a menu for the whole month; breakfast, lunch and dinners.

This why i can save some time and i won't be making the same foods every week.

I thought i would share it with you all in case you need some new ideas/inspiration.

Before i give you the link for you to download my menu plan i need to share a few notes on it.

• On July 1st you will see a * next to Dinner, that just means we are eating dinner out that night. 
• I didn't include side dishes on the menu.
• I do my grocery shopping once a week, Saturday or Sunday morning. 

Now i'll share with you some links for different recipes used on my menu plan.
