I know it might seem a little odd to have a discussion about how to boil an egg, but there are some us who can take it a little seriously.

Why is it that at the end of every workday we find ourselves wondering what's for dinner? Usually it's too late to pull together anything that sounds good that you also have the ingredients for. Take out meals are fine sometimes, but the expense adds up. Menu planning is a great way to avoid this.

We are all looking for ways to make our food dollars stretch, and that is one of the main reasons I am a big fan of planned leftovers and menu planning.
