Meal Planning Monday Freebie!

Last week I didn’t make a plan and I found myself REALLY dragging in the meal department. We didn’t eat as healthily, I didn’t feel creative, and we didn’t have a lot of variety. I definitely need to plan ahead. 

And since I’m obsessed with things looking cute, I made myself a printable to hang on the fridge! YAY. Actually, I uploaded it to Artscow to have it printed as a coil-bound calendar, so it should be here in a few days.

I made this as a weekly plan, and then ordered it from Artscow because I like that you can delete the monthly calendar page and upload your own. I used them a couple of years ago when I gave personalized calendars as a gift to our family members so I could add birthdays and graphics to the calendar page. Anyway, there may be other printing companies that have this option as well, Artscow (don’t you love the name ) is just the one I have found so far.

So when I went to upload the design, I deleted the bottom monthly calendar page, and just uploaded my meal plan image there instead. I hope that makes sense…I’ll show you the final product when it comes. Basically I will have 24 weekly meal plan pages with the calendar binding. We’ll see if it helps me stay better organized, and if I like it, I’ll order another one for the other half of the year. Plus, it will look cute hanging on the fridge .

Here’s the link if you want to download* and make your own meal plan. Of course you could just print it out at home too, I just like to save my printer ink for printing coupons ! Artscow ALWAYS has deals going on too, so you can usually get a good deal. I had a free calendar credit, so I just paid shipping for mine. New customers also get 1200 free prints and 3 8×8 photobooks!

As for this week’s meal plan, tenatively thinking:

• Banana Rice Pudding
• Sweet and Sour Chicken with Rice
• Beef-Vegetable Soup, rolls
• Broccoli and Bean Soup, apple-cinnamon muffins
• Fajitas, black beans
• Leftovers
