One of the best ways to get yourself into the habit of weekly meal planningis to hang a menu board in your kitchen. So to inspire you to get organized with your menu planning- here are 10 great menu board ideas! I hope that you find one that will work for you!
Magnetic Menu Planning Board
Of course, I am partial to this one, since it is my own menu planning board! What I love about it is that there are separate magnets for each dinner that my family loves, so planning the week is as simple as moving the magnets around.
At the bottom of the board, meals are organized into categories: beef, chicken, pasta/pizza, easy dinners, etc.- so I can easily see every possible option. This helps me to make sure that I am not repeating the same item over and over again.
