Introduction

Hi, and welcome to "Meals Per Month." The last six years I've been married to the most wonderful woman in the world! Part of what I love to do is plan out our meals for the month, and do a grocery shopping trip just once a month. Since we are just starting out on our own for the first time, I thought it would be a frugal idea to try this strategy. Well, 72 months later and the idea has stuck - well, sort of. I've found it unreasonable to only go to the grocery story once a month - but I have found that I can do most of the shopping only once a month! We still go maybe once every week to 10 days to get fresh items like fruit, milk and eggs. In any case, this has become something I really enjoy, and a bit of a challenge. Whether it be planning all of our meals from only one cooking magazine, planning meals from only items on sale at our local grocery store, etc. I have found joy in the planning, shopping for, and cooking our monthly meals (side note: my wife loves cooking as well and is also great at it!) This blog is to share with you the monthly set of meals and grocery lists that I put together, and the recipes that go along with them. I don't want to assume what any person does or doesn't have in their pantry, so I'll list the entire grocery list, and if there is something you already have in your pantry (such as salt, oil, flour, etc.) you can just scratch that off. In addition, I will probably be adding occasionally, recipes that are favorites of mine or come with some sort of story behind them, and try to include some of the beautiful pictures my wife takes of the finished products. Welcome, and hope you enjoy the ride and benefit from some of the grocery lists and recipes I include here! Hope to hear from you!
