Weekly Menu Planning Printable

Do you know most people don't even keep their goals past January?  I am determined for that not to be me this year.

One of my goals is to plan a weekly menu 48 weeks of the year (that way if I miss a few I will still get my goal!)  So I took to Pinterest to find a cute idea for writing my weekly menu and I couldn't find anything I loved that was free.

So I made my own.

I created the page, trimmed it as frames are 8X10 and paper is bigger than that, and then slipped it into an 8X10 frame.
My Menu- get the file below! 

That way I can use wipe off marker to write the menu for each week, erase and then am ready for the following week.

And just for you- you can download my Weekly Menu Printable for free by just clicking the link below.


And so far I have made my goal!

Here is my menu for this past week

I am linking this post up at the following crafting blogs

  3. I always meal plan 1-2 weeks in advance in a notebook, but this would be great to keep in the kitchen, since my husband always wants to know what is for dinner as soon as he is finished with breakfast!

  5. So cute Em. And insanely impressive that would meal plan that much! I actually just barely bought a little white board for my fridge to post our menus . . . I was hoping it would inspire me to meal plan at least occasionally! ha!

    Your menu looks soooo yummy!

  11. Awesome!! I was looking for something similar and found this on Pinterest (http://thecreativemama.com/the-end-of-reinventing-the-meal-menu-planning-and-the-ultimate-menu-board/) … I ended up modifying it a little bit but I like the concept of using the cards -- it helps with planning and grocery shopping.

  14. Great idea. For some reason we can't seem to even stick to a meal plan. I think it'd make it easier to go to the store....

  15. Love it! I have toyed with the idea of making one, but while I live here, I only make dinner twice a week, so there isn't really a point. I think when I make one, I will make a space for a grocery list. Just because I need my menu and groceries in the same spot, or I will leave something out and not be able to make the dish I had planned. I am good at that. :)
    How do you make a pdf download to share? I have some things I wanted to share, but have no idea how to go about doing it.
