Normally I try to sit down and make a two week menu plan and repeat those two for the month. I am more successful at planning meals when I plan for the month. This means I only sit down once a month to brainstorm menu ideas. I find I don't dread planning my meals planning this way. I still shop weekly, since produce goes bad so quickly and our weekly needs can vary.
My family enjoys the familiarity of the foods for the month. I enjoy the simplicity of cooking and planning for the same meal twice a month. In the next couple weeks I'll share my two week plan for the month.
