Meal Planning Made Easy

Easy
With a few office supplies, some printer ink and one afternoon of work, you can get your meals planned out for the week or even the month! And it can all be reused-no need to print out more sheets every week!
Gather your supplies: you'll need a notebook or folder or some sort, Post-it notes (the 1/2 sheet size) some sheet protectors and a pen. Don't forget you favorite recipes from Pinterest, magazines or other resources!
Download this easy-to-use template and adjust it to your needs (it's VERY detailed-thanks to Homemade by Carmona for her hard work) so you will actually use it. You can keep or remove sub-categories and also use the monthly meal planner along with the weekly side-by-side pages. I just use the weekly planner and dinner only. Sometimes I am on top of things and I do the monthly overall plan, too.
Write down the recipe names on color coded post-its and fill up the menu ideas pages.
Then simply pull the post-its with your desired recipes for the week from the menu planning page and add them to the actual weekly planner page. Because they are on post-its, you can move them around easily! For more details on how the color coding works and initial set up, along with links to download the templates, please visit the link below!
