Monthly Planner Week 1

Photo copied recipes

I've been working on something the last couple of nights......

thought I'd share.

It will probably be boring to most of you.

I'd had a weekly menu routine for quite some time now and

I thought I could make it work even better.

I would go to my recipe binder (made it a couple of years ago).

Make my menu, shop once a week and add fill-ins as needed

all week like... milk & bread and more milk & bread. Oh, I also do

what we call "BIG" shopping once a month for all the everyday

basics and some ridiculous amounts of cereal.LOL.

So I started out with a binder and made 52 copies of a weekly menu

planner. I will work on a month at a time.

(All my menu sheets and photo copies are in sheet protectors)

I went to my recipe binder, chose my 4 weeks of recipes.

So let me try to explain the binder layout....

January 3-9 week 1 Menu

Photo copies of my recipes follow

January 10-16 week 2 Menu

Photo copies of my recipes follow

etc...
Now once a week I look at my weekly menu and add my

needed ingredients to my grocery list because my recipes

are right there following my menu.

As I cook all week I don't have to go get all my recipes

out of different cook books and my binder.

So what do ya think???
