Many people I know just dread sitting down to write a weekly meal plan and now they don't have to with this fantastic functional menu board.
This is also a great learning tool to use with your kids. Not only can they help choose the meals, this can also teach them about balanced meal choices too. What I like best about a meal plan is not having to guess each morning what to eat for dinner.
The Creative Mama was indeed creative with the layout and the details she included on her meal cards. She records ingredients, recipe books/page numbers and grocery list items. You could also note the approximate cooking times too.
Learn how The Creative Mama made The Ultimate Menu Board.
Making the board would be fairly inexpensive too. The biggest expense would be the laminate for the menu cards. The frame could be purchased from a dollar store, yard sale or maybe you already have one lying about. For the background, a piece of recycled wallpaper or wrapping paper would be perfect (and decorative too)! The boxes are recycled crayon boxes covered in pretty paper. Clothes pins can also be purchase at a dollar store and you could use paints to decorate them.
(Thanks Creative Mama)
