I do a monthly menu on a calender-
I select a catergory for each day of the week (eg. monday is meat & vege night, tuesday is chicken & rice night, wednesday is vegetarian night, thursday is pasta night, friday is burger and home cooked chips night, saturday is soup night & sunday is roast night) I then go through my favourite recipes and select appropriate ones for each night of the week. I note the recipe book & page no (if req)on the calender as well. Also as I go I write up my monthly shop menu (or you can do it in weekly lots) so I can buy everything I need for the month.

Plan your meals so you can cook several items at a time, while using the same temperature. While baking tonight's pizza, have a casserole ready to bake for tomorrow's lunch and maybe a few baking potatoes for tomorrow's breakfast home fries. Not only will you be saving energy on your power bill, but time you can spend with your kids or that good book, you've just started.
