Create a Custom Menu & Meal Planning Binder
Ingredients
Scale
- Scissors
- 3″ Binder
- Plastic Binder Sheets and Dividers
- Computer, Computer Paper & Printer
Instructions
- Copy all the recipes you enjoy from each cookbook. Cut out the magazine recipes nicely as well.
- I printed a plain calendar using Microsoft Word to compile my meal plan for each month. However, you can find free printable calendars on the internet as well.
- Label the dividers by meats, pastas, breads, appetizers and desserts. However, I separated mine by Breakfast, Meals and Desserts. Find what works for you and go with it!
- Slide the recipes in each plastic sheet.
- Then, plan your meals for each month. I try to plan seasonal meals as a “guide” for each month. I can always erase what I have down or fill out a new calender as I find new recipes! Each calender was placed in a sheet once all filled out. You can make a note of the page number of the recipe for quick reference.
- Step back and admire your hard work. You can even name your binder?
