New Year. One quarter planned

So I have been gently reminded or rather encouraged for a long while to simply make a quartly plan and rotate the menus.  The reasoning is that we really don't eat that many different recipes.  I have resisted but finally broke down.  I found this website with some planning ideas.  It was enough to get me going and the fact that Scott fixed the printer so I can now print in color!!  I had everything I needed already at home to get this together.  I did make my own pocket folders because I didn't have those kicking around.  I just pull the recipes for the month/quarter out of our big binder and that way I have them all in one place.  So far we are three for three and I've been prepping in the morning or during nap time which has made the dinner rush MUCH better.
Another nice thing on her website is the grocery list.  I need to probably type my own up but it is a great base and starting place.

S-Chicken Noodle Soup ala Sara Nagel with fresh Honey Whole Wheat Bread (I made mini loaves and the kids loved have tiny slices!)
M-Chili with cornbread (I cook large batches of beans and freeze them that way they are soft enough to quickly make chili or other bean dishes)
T-Spaghetti with steamed broccoli and zucchini
W-Eggs and Toast and Smoothies (this may change as Scott is having a gum graft done and I have no idea what he will be able to eat)
T-Um, not planned yet. Okay there are still a few holes.  I'm hoping to try some new recipes and use food storage in the post Christmas Oops, we spent too much!)
F-Homemade buttermilk waffles with fruit (I may make these oat waffles as Alton says Oats are a miracle food!)
S-Stir-fry with rice

Note on the waffles.  I make a double batch to make and freeze the ones we don't eat. Then I also make a double batch of the dry ingredients and store in an airtight container until the next time and it saves a lot of time on making the next batch.  I have to grind my wheat and I hate to find that I have to grind the wheat first in order to make dinner!
