Ready or not, it’s January of 2020. I hope you and your family had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas and the New Year. We did. Now we’re returning to our normal routine, which includes having a dinner menu planned out for the month.
At the start of each month I plan out our dinners for the coming weeks (you can see past menus here). Though it takes a bit of time and effort to do this, it is beneficial for my family because it saves us time (I don’t have to menu plan on a weekly basis) and it saves us money (I’m able to make bulk purchases of foods we use numerous times).
I only include dinners on our menus. We typically eat leftovers or simple things like cheese broccoli soup, almond butter sandwiches, or homemade macaroni and cheese for lunch. We typically eat oatmeal, scrambled eggs and toast, or cold cereal for breakfast.
Here are the tasty dinners we will eat during January 2020.

Everything looks delicious! I am cleaning out our freezer and pantry this month, using things up and getting my garden plan ready so I can restock with fresh garden goodies this summer 🙂
Thanks for sharing on Farm Fresh Tuesdays!
Thanks, Lisa.
It’s great that you are cleaning out your freezer and pantry! Hopefully you can make sure nothing goes to waste and make room for the new foods you’ll harvest this summer.
