First Post...

I finally decided to jump on the food blogging band-wagon a day late and a dollar short.
I hope to have the opportunity to plan 31 day menus without breaking the bank. I anticipate by creating a menu in advance that we save money, eat out less, and have better portion control.

For the month of June, these are my menu ideas, I am planning to make everything from scratch with the help of a few canned goods, ie. broths, bottled sauce/marinades.

I have taken many recipes from TheNest - What's for Dinner, William Sonoma, AllRecipes, and Fellow bloggers. If I failed to credit your dish please post a comment and I will credit you.
