You can make a Menu Board to keep up with the weekly meals for a few reasons:
- Things don't get lost in the refrigerator
- Easy meal planning
- Easy shopping list creation
I tried different
ways of keeping track. White board, piece of paper, print outs,
calendars, winging it.... but I decided on this board that I made
myself.
I did not come up with this idea, but I thought is was a great one for my family. You can find the beautiful and original idea at CG Dickson [the blog]. She gives instructions on creating your own Menu Board.
I
did a few things differently. Instead of using lamination on my meal
cards, I used packing tape. I didn't bother with putting the days of the
week on the clothespins, because I like having choices and not a
completely set menu.
Also I used drink mix boxes instead of crayon boxes. On the back of my meal cards, I also included the location of recipes if needed.
. The only thing I bought for this project was the picture frame. Use what you have and alter it to your needs
Happy Menu Board making.
