Free Printable Menu Planners

January 30, 2012  Print This Post

Did you set some new year’s resolutions this year? I’m not much for resolutions really, but I have been making an effort to get back into the flow of menu planning more. With working all day, spending time with the baby before bed, and a babe who doesn’t sleep so well… our dinners have been crazy lately and I wanted to get back into the flow of menu planning (and actually fixing the meals). A few nights ago, I didn’t manage to sit down to eat until 9pm! So I’m not doing that great with my goal, but we’ll get there eventually. Eventually my child will sleep better right?

I’ve been meaning to make some Free Printables to share with you guys for awhile, so I finally did it figuring there are some others out there who may be trying to be better about menu planning this year… and are maybe having a rough start like I am! Enjoy!

This menu planner also has a shopping list along side it so you can make a list as you go. I made three versions, one that starts the week on Sunday and another that starts the week off on Monday, and in case you’re a bit neurotic like me, one without the days of the week filled in so you can adjust according to your shopping day!

Weekly Menu Planner / Shopping List – Fill in Day of the Week

This menu planner doesn’t have a shopping list on it. If you’re like me then you have a smart phone that you probably use for your shopping list. I personally use the ShoppingList App which I really like. It stores my previous entries which makes creating a shopping list easy and quick!  I made three versions for this one as well– one that starts the week on Sunday and another that starts the week off on Monday, and in case you’re a bit neurotic like me, one without the days of the week filled in so you can adjust according to your shopping day!

Pepperoni Pizza Puffs

So I hear there’s a big football game coming up? I honestly do not care about football especially pro football. I do love me some Aggie football, although recently we haven’t been too good and it can awfully hard to watch. I do occasionally ”watch” the superbowl with friends but I’d say that’s only once every [...]

Lightened Up Jalapeno Popper Dip

I’ve seen this recipe float around the interwebs for quite some time. I’ve been meaning to give it a try and finally did — just in time to share with you before you start your superbowl menu planning. With the start of the new year, and new year’s resolutions, I thought it’d be a good [...]

Salmon & Asparagus Pasta

  I first blogged this recipe in 2007. It blows my mind away that I’ve been going at blogging for over 5 years now. I really really don’t know where the time goes. What started as a little way of sharing recipes with just a handful of friends has really grown over the years. Oh [...]
