Menu Plan December 16-31

Last time around I didn't plan all of the lunches. I knew it would probably not work out well, and I was right, because we ended up going out to eat a few times, which we probably would not have done if I had planned a few more meals.  For some reason I have this mental block in my head that spending the extra $5 for something like BLTs for lunch is so expensive. But when we go out for lunch, and it costs $20 to feed the whole family, I guess $5 is not so bad. So. I am trying my best to plan everything, even if it means spending a pinch more on groceries...

And that's that! I will be taking a menu plan post break the beginning of January, but rest assured - it will still be planned out on paper! I'll be back with more menu posts the middle of next month.
