Do you ever get tired of hearing, "what's for dinner?" or "what sounds good for dinner?" I know that I do!
Problem: Trying to lose weight, save money, and still cook delicious meals. In my household there are four adults, a father, a mother, and two college students. Among all of us we are trying to cut back on eating out in order to save money and lose some weight. We also get tired of trying to figure out whose responsibility it is to cook.
Solution: Create a menu/grocery board. This solution seemed simple after discussing it over time. After seeing several posted on Pinterest, my dad and I set out to make one. We picked up a cheap white board at Wal-Mart, used art tape we had on hand, printed out what we eat on a regular basis on cardstock (and added some new recipes to try), and bought some decorative lettering.
Our board is designed to put up a week’s menu, with space on the side to include side-dishes. It also includes a calendar with who is assigned to cook, along with this is a binder that has the recipes for each card we made. There is also a place to develop a shopping list. We hope that this will help cut down on the confusion of the “who” and “what” of dinner.
