Dinner Menus

Last Friday we threw an Easter Egg Hunt and dinner party at our house. I was really pleased with the results because we fed 30 people and had an Easter egg hunt for the kids all for $50. But, it's making it tough to stick to my budget this month! And I decided to start potty training my toddler, so that makes it even trickier--it's already cost me $20!

Anyway, in an effort to really stick with it, I'm making a plan. Mostly, it's a dinner plan, but if I already know I have what we need for dinner, the rest I can do easily with what we have on hand.
