Quick Menu Plan for Spring Cleaning

Sharing is caring!

Unfortunately, there comes a time in every responsible adult’s year that she must deep clean her entire home.  Actually, this time comes twice in each year.  We have a huge Spring Cleaning purge and another in the Fall.

However, deep cleaning the house really isn’t the hard part.  The hard part is deep cleaning the house and still keeping up with your menu plan and other normal, everyday, housekeeping tasks!

That is why I created this Menu Plan for Spring Cleaning for us.  This weekly menu plan includes quick, easy, and make-ahead meals so that we can concentrate on scrubbing this house and decluttering it from top to bottom without worrying about what our kids are going to eat!
