This is such a great idea! I did this a few years ago, but we got so burnt out on the dishes that I finally quit. But I will say that when we came back to the Philippines after six months in the States, those rotating menus saved my life! It was so, so nice not to have to think about dinner when I was so drained from jet lag and getting our house set back up.

Mel's Kitchen Cafe is one of my favorite places to get recipes. She has menu plans on the Prepear app, and I'm planning to try it once we're in the States and I can find the ingredients easily.

This week I made Tuscan Garlic Chicken and Lemon Garlic Chicken with Caesar Salad, both of which were big hits and easy to make.
