Weekly Menu

I'm so excited about my new menu planning board! Last weekend, I procured the materials and I put it together this afternoon. It makes me so happy that I have an easy way to figure out my menu AND make those last minute changes. Check out the pics!

Menu Board
 I re-purposed a picture frame and removed the glass and added a sheet of metal cut to size. The background is scrapbook paper cut to the size of the frame with a printed sheet with the title and days with additional paper added for decoration. Then hung it on the kitchen wall.

My menu for the week.
I printed off some menu ideas & things I often make and glued them to some flat magnets and then cut them out. There are "blanks" for new ideas. Since there is a piece of metal behind the pretty paper, the menu items "stick" to the board but I can easily move them around! Just in case you can't see, here is my menu plan for the week.

Sunday: Cook whole chicken
Monday: Butternut squash soup
Tuesday: Spaghetti squash w/ sauce (okay this is a bit different from the board...)
Wednesday:  Lenten Soup supper @ church
Thursday: Pizza from the farmer's market
Friday: Unfried fish & chips
Saturday: Chicken, white bean & butternut squash soup

So pretty, and such a good idea! When does your Etsy store open?

I'm agreeing with the MathNerd! I love this idea and am thinking about where to put one in my kitchen!
