I'm going to make copies of a monthly calendar for our first meeting for all those who want them.
This is a good way to start menu planning.....

Step 1: Grab a pad of paper and pen...
Step 2: Make 2 columns
            Column 1..... list all the meals you actually like to cook & eat
            Coulmn 2..... list all the meals you enjoy eating when you go out
Ideally you would want to have a list of at least 30 total meals to make up a month.
Step 3: head to allrecipes.com and find the recipes for the meals you like to eat but don't know how to make
Step 4: Grab your monthly or weekly calendar and start filling the boxes in with meals
Step 5: Working with just a week at a time, make a grocery list for your planned meals
