My menu board was one of those projects.
I started it last February and last weekend I finally finished it.
I found my inspiration here at The Creative Mama blog and year ago I dug out a very large old picture frame and created my board.
The part that's taken me a year was committing meals to it!
I've struggled, been distracted, changed eating habits, you name it, it was a reason not to finish pulling it all together.
Now that it's done, the kids are really holding me to it. They come up, check to see what's listed and bargain and plead to switch things around if there's something coming up they like better. I'm really enjoying their reactions.
I added extra "pockets" to mine and made cards that were for staples. When we run out of a staple, it gets moved from the middle pocket to the lower pocket. On the back of each card is a listing of the ingredients needed for each meal. This is convenient so I don't have to pull out cookbooks or printed out recipes to see what I need for the meals I'm planning.
Meal planning still does not come easy to me but I have hopes that this will help.
How do you plan your meals?
