Busy Family Meal Planning

Two weeks of spring menus

by Cyndi Lavin on May 5th, 2008

Here are two spring menus for you, featuring 30 minute meals that I’ve shared here on Busy Family Meals. Each week has 5 full dinners, 1 snack-style dinner, and 1 day left over for you to eat…well, left overs! Or to go out :-)

Click on each recipe that you decide to use, print yourself out a text file so that you don’t have to print all the pictures and extras, and create a shopping list based upon the layout of your grocery store. Check out the posts once a week food preparation and OAMC for more tips on streamlining your shopping and cooking!
