ReplyDeleteI hope the menu planner works well for you Tabitha.
DeleteWhat a fantastic idea! We only plan a week at a time right now, but I bet it would help with shopping to have a longer range plan! Thanks for sharing this at Shine on Fridays!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy. I plan a week at a time too, but I’m considering a flexible rotating menu.

I plan a month at a time and have been looking for something more exciting than my regular notebook paper to do it on. Love the colorful month sheet!
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl! I would like to work up to planning a month at a time :)
DeleteI have a 3 week rotation of the "type of meal" (not necessarily specific recipes) which is usually filled with the same recipes but also allows for a quick recipe change. So, for example, on Monday's I have a simple/basic slow cooker meal that will provide enough meat for lunches (for sandwiches or in a salad). Week 1 I slow cook a whole chicken, Week 2 is a beef roast. Week 3 is ham. I keep spices and sauces to a minimum for these since I want the meat to be versatile throughout the week. Tuesdays are a casserole dish that I double up so one goes in the freezer. Week 1 is a freezer friendly beef dish, week 2 is pork, week 3 is chicken. I also throw tuna in there for a change. Wednesdays I pull the freezer meal from a few Tuesdays back with a different meat than the day before. Thursdays are my new recipe day...so I try something new but again stick with the pattern of Week 1, fish, week 2 pork, week 3 beef etc. Fridays are pizza day or take-out, but again, week 1 is beef pizza (think cheeseburger, or you could do traditional pepperoni/salami if you like them), week 2 chicken (ie. bbq chicken or thai chicken), week 3 pork (ground italian pork...yum!) etc. etc. I leave weekends open...for big family dinners, easy pancakes or grilled cheese, or restaurant fare.
ReplyDeleteHi Jill! I love your meal plan! I’ve been determined to eat more vegetarian meals and only make two meat dishes a week, so your “3 week rotation” has given me some great ideas. Thank you so much for sharing!
DeleteThis month is my first month to do this. I just knew I could not think of enough different meals for a whole month. We are on social security so am going to do from one pay day to the next months pay day. Some times instead of four weeks between pay days it's five weeks. That's a bad one. Anyway I thought of enough meals but then I drew a blank as to when to have what. My husband was no help either. I finally did make out a month of meals but what I really wanted to do was write the different meals on little pieces of paper, fold the papers, put them in a hat and have my husband take them out one by one and that would be how are meals would fall. No again. Think I might do that myself in November!! Thanks ever so much for your free printables. Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteKathy I love the idea of drawing your meals from a hat! You'll have to let me know how it works.:)
