Free Menu Planner Download

I have used all sorts of menu planning boards and documents over the years and have never found one that works well for long...

So I designed this laminated A3 sized menu planner to place on the front of my refrigerator. I have been slack with my menu planning lately and really need to get back to organising my meals more efficiently. We have been so busy with after school activites, church and work recently that meals are often rushed, unimaginative and not very well planned.

I have also pledged to get the kids more involved with planning, preparing and cooking the meals we make, not only as a necessary life skill, but to have them take some ownership over the task.

Having the meals for the week written down and in plain sight prevents the inevitable daily "Mum, what's for dinner?" questions.

It won't, however, prevent the kids from complaining about your cooking. That, my friend, I can't help you with ;)

You can download a free copy of my menu planner here. It is designed as an A3 document so you may need to get it printed at a copyshop if you don't have access to a large printer. I laminated it and plan to write on it with an erasable whiteboard marker. It is the perfect size for the top section of my fridge but you could easily alter the size of the document to suit your needs.

Let me know if this planner works for you and if you have any other ideas for free printables to make life a little more organised! I also designed this sign which is yet to attract any offers....typical *sigh* ;)
