I will mark out what we eat each day as we go. The door straight ahead is our master suite. Having the board across from the pantry is super helpful. The double doors in front of the menu is the pantry. Each morning when I get up I decided what is for dinner that day.įrom this view the kitchen is to the left. Now I create my meal planning menu board by including the meals I have all of the ingredients for already on hand. I moved the framed chalkboard to the wall in front of my pantry. Now it has turned into a great menu board for our weekly meal planning. I created chalkboard art to hang above my mantel. So I grabbed it up knowing that I could make it into something to use at home. Over the past few months I decided to take a new approach to my weekly meal planning to see if I could keep my family feed with out the dreaded 5:00 what’s for dinner thought.Ī couple of years ago I found a beautiful frame at a yard sale for $5! It was just the frame, no glass or backing but it was in excellent shape. That usually turns into eating out or eating a bowl of cereal for dinner. BUT with a family to take care of winging it doesn’t cut it. I barely know what I want to eat for my next meal. The thought of deciding what I will eat 4 days from now has always annoyed me.

Some people are amazing at it, even planning meals down to the day. If there is one thing I have never been good at it’s meal planning.

I created my meal planning menu board strategy in hopes of taking some stress out of my day.
