Meal Planning isn't as hard as you think. Donate a few hours on a Sunday and you will have meals for a week, two weeks or even a month. It also will help you save money. Who loves saving money? I know I sure do.

This month is all freezer meals. I love that I am able to get up in the morning and stick everything in my crockpot so when I come home at night dinner is ready :) These recipes can be converted easily to none freezer meals. <br />
I have made a monthly calendar of my meals for the whole month except Friday and Saturday. You can change your weeks however you want to. :) Mine is just an example :)<br />
If you choose to use my monthly calendar meals it will be posted. Also, I shop for 2 weeks worth and I will provide the grocery list as well. :) My freezer can only hold that much :)<br />
<br />
My pasta is always gluten free, Soy Sauce is NOT gluten free, I have found Gluten Free Soy Sauce at Harris Teeter.<br />
<br />
