Dinner Makeover!

About a month ago Jeff came home with an idea.  A co-worker of his told him about an online program that you subscribe to and they send you a menu and shopping list every week for dinners.  Since I started going back to school and working later, I haven't had time to think about making a weekly menu like I used to.. so we thought we would give it a shot!

Four weeks in and we're hooked!  They make the menus based on what is going on sale for that week, at the store we picked.  Not only is it really nice to have a shopping list for the whole week organized for you by departments, it's great for the budget!  The average week is about $40, but we buy the expensive items in bulk when they go on sale (like meats, rice and pasta, etc.) so it's usually less than that! 

I have all the menus and shopping lists saved so we can make them again any time we want.  So far everything we have made has been really easy and tasty (not bland though!). 

We used to dread coming up with something for dinner, since we didn't have a plan.. now I look forward to coming home from work and cooking dinner for us!

Here is what was on the menu tonight:

Stuffed Chicken Breasts (stuffing, roasted peppers and spinach) with Brown Rice and Green Beans
