My hope is to help you in the every day art of cooking.. and to make it become more of a joy than a needful task that HAS to be done...
I have lots of pages and links to lead you through weekly and monthly meal planning, grocery shopping, couponing, and many ideas to give you a choice of meals to make..
There's monthly menus with recipes.. holiday menus and recipes.. and lots more just for you. These are from my own pages and sites on the internet besides lots of other great food and cooking places out there as well.
Anything I can do to help you enjoy what you're doing and making memories for your family is my goal....So sit back... relax.. have a nice cup of coffee, tea, hot chocolate or whatever it takes.. and surf, bookmark and enjoy!!!!
Well, how does it all begin? Where do I start? How do you plan your menus and grocery shopping lists?
That's a tall order.. but it can be done.. I have been doing this for over 34 years now .. with 7 children.. Sunday dinners with anywhere from 13 to 20 after church.. Starting anywhere with a budget from only $35 a week... all the way to my current budget .......which is MUCH bigger and better.. (praise the Lord).
But.. it CAN be done.. no matter how little or how much money you have..
Yes, it takes time... but isn't your family worth it? Aren't you worth it? Sure you are.. Just knowing that you did everything you could to spend whatever amount you have and your family can have great meals that you took the time to prepare and saved LOTS of money.. Hey.. who wouldn't want to try it? You have to start some where.. So let's start here..
First of all .. you have to have a plan.. and that involves the grocery list..
To begin.. let's go Georgia's Kitchen Meal Planning and Shopping Tips
This is the introductory page that leads to all the rest.. and gives you the tools..
Then.. we'll stop at Georgia's Kitchen Grocery List/Introduction
From here.. you'll find two pages of sample Grocery Lists that I made up .. from my own shopping list which has served as a great guideline for anyone starting out..

Now.. we have to plan..Georgia's Kitchen How-To-Do-It Page Meal Planning
This is where I give you the in depth planning that goes on in Georgia's Kitchen (the real one).. every week.. There's lots of helps and tips here.. and I'm sure you'll find it quite beneficial..
Hey........it's worked for me!!!
Then finally there's Georgia's Kitchen Sample Monthly Menu Planner
Based on one month's planning at my house.. this will show you the variety of ways you can plan and prepare hamburger dishes, chicken recipes and so on...
I'm sure that ALL of these pages with be just what you've been looking for.. and then one day......your husband and family will say....
"Honey.......just HOW do you do it???"
Well, the secret is just between you and me.. (and the many who will stop by this page.. ha..ha.. )..
Just one step to get started into a new way of making your family's meals and your shopping a more enjoyable experience..
