How to Make a Weekly Menu Plan
- Create a list of trusted recipes. Then add any new dishes you have been wanting to try
- Review your schedule. How many days will you have whole family home, what days will you have less prep time, special occasions.
- Choose the recipes for the week.
- Plug the recipes into your schedule. Mix up the proteins if possible.
- Make Your Shopping List for the Week
- Figure out what you already have. Cross off those items from your the grocery list.
- Note when you need to take things out of freezer to defrost.

We went with the weekly meal planner, but they have a variety of formats specifically customized for your needs: weekly, monthly, daily, teacher, student, mom/parent, wedding and our newest meal and tiny planners.

We were able to customize the planner starting in September so you don’t have to wait to use it.
