Over the years I have tried
various ways to menu plan. I have
scheduled a month, two weeks or a week at a time. Finally, I came up with a system that is
quick and doable. In addition, I have
included main goals on my menu plan to keep them up front and center in my
mind.
Sundays are the days I fill
this plan out. I look at our families
activities for the week and enter them on my menu. This gives me a birds eye view of how much
time I’ll have to cook, for who, and if we will have time to dine
together. I love this system. The menu is posted each week on the fridge
and everyone has a clear understanding of what food is available if we have
conflicting schedules.
I work off a list daily,
however, adding important goals for the week on my menu plan encourages me not
to forget to do items I may put off until last or perhaps not find time for at
all. In my case, exercise goals. My husband like the idea so much he asked to
have his goals added to the weekly plan as well. (Priceless)
