Charts

Now is a very good time to look for this, you can pick up a day at a glance calendar at any store. I don't see why that wouldn't work for you. Good Luck

That is an excellent idea Anne. I think I might just do this myself as I fed up with arguments on what everyone wants for tea. Each week includes only 5 planned days. Weekends are left free so you can go to the shop and choose something you fancy or get a takeaway, or eat at friends. On a rough piece of paper, list 20 meals that your family enjoys. Do it in groups of 4 or 5 food types, so say you start with pasta, find 4 pasta dishes for your list. Then maybe chicken dishes, then fish. Simple foods like pizza or sausages can be listed as well as more substantial meals like roast chicken. Now, take your chart and start to fill in the boxes from your list. Roughly balance the weeks by including a pasta dish, a chicken recipe, a fish recipe each week. Add matching accompaniments to each dish such as potatoes, boiled, baked, roast or chipped. And balance the meal with a vegetable and a pudding. You can now write next weeks shopping list from the first week of your Planner. http://myfamilymealplanner.com/My%20Family%20Meal%20Planner.html Check the link out they look good ones to buy.

I ran and did a quick search, this may suit your needs: http://www.thedaycarelady.com/familyblankmenu.htm This site seems to have lots of good stuff, so I bookmarked it. Notice to all this is not a referral link, everything on it is free, and there is no joining. Just a good site to look at.

Why don't you make your own.A sheet of paper and a ruler make four and rotate them round so you won't get bored with cooking the same thing ,get them laminated or buy a spare calender and then it would be easier,that is a very good idea of yours and it will cut down on waste.
