As I have mentioned before in other posts, I do a lot of prep work when it comes to food. Sometimes I prepare meals ahead of time and freeze them. I always menu plan. I have a notebook where I write down 7 meals for the week. That is how I create my shopping list (as well as looking for staples that are low or out). Planning a specific meal for a specific day was not working for us. Creating a menu board of some sort seemed like a good idea to organize the meal planning for everyone to see. I found many ideas but went with the one below. It uses a picture frame, spray paint, clothespins, scrapbook paper and envelopes. Our kitchen has recently been upgraded and the color scheme is red, black, and white. I chose to paint the frame white so it would pop off of the red walls. Each of the meals is listed on small cards and on the backs is a list of the ingredients needed to make the meal. This way, after I choose 7 meals, I can look at the backs to create my grocery list for the week.
