Menu Book DONE

I have been wanting and imaging how I could make the best menu making tool ever.  Finally it has come to me.  Instead of having a bunch of papers that I have to collect all together all them time and then use to sit down and make my menu plan I decided to put them all together as a book.

I’ve made five sections: Menu Making Helps, Family Favorites, Recipes to Try, Weekly Menus and Monthly Menus.  In my menu making helps I have:

Our Meal List

Main Dish Menu Planner from No Ordinary Moments

image

Menu Plan for outlining my most used recipes and listing out the ingredients so I can make an appropriate inventory must have list.  This menu plan is from Food Storage Made Easy.

I used this inventory list so I can list out how much food I need.  I put four of these sheets in my book.  There’s a spot where it tells how much you need for three months.  I changed this on each sheet to 6, 9, 12.  This sheet is also from Food Storage Made Easy

In the next section labeled Family Favorites I put these pages:

Favorite recipes list is an editable PDF.  I put this in the list for new additions or old favorites so I would know where to find my recipes.  No more adding a recipe to the list and then wondering where that recipe is.  This page is from Life Your Way

image

The next page is one that I created.  I wanted a really cool page that I could write down new recipes.  I used this template as a guide to help me.  A printer version will be coming soon.

In the next section labeled recipes to try I put in this page where I can list out new recipes.

This awesome page is an editable PDF.  This page is from Life Your Way.

The next section is the Weekly Menu Planner.

The weekly menu planner has a place for you to write the breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack for each day of the week. A PDF version will be coming soon.

The last section is the Monthly Menu Planner.

Monthly Menu Planner from No Ordinary Moments And on the plus side is that it’s an editable PDF.

I can’t wait to start using my new menu book and see how much it helps our family.

  1. I love the idea of this!! I looked through all the worksheets you use and sadly once again they aren't exactly what I need... instead you inspired me to spend the last 3 hours creating my own!!! Something I have needed to stop reading about and just do for a long time. Now its finally done! Yay I have a list of our favorite meals, a master shopping list and a meal plan. Now I just need to finish my inventory sheet and get all my recipes in one place for easy access!!!
    Again thank you so much for the inspiration!
