My parents recently bought and butchered a pig from the fair and we directly benefit from such butchering's :) . In trying to keep to a very structured budget I knew that I would need to make a monthly dinner menu and stick to it so we don't go over budget with food. We like to eat good (doesn't everyone?) and I really don't mind making just about everything from scratch, its cheaper that way, so here is my dinner menu and links to some of the recipes I'm using for the rest of the month of September.

Jared is working most nights so what he won't be here to eat will be his dinner for the following night, he really hates breakfast for dinner so during the week I can throw those couple easy dinners in and he can have a sandwich or a frozen burrito the following day.
