In a lot of ways I am a big on planning. And meal planning seems to 
be a big one for a lot of people...except me. That could be because it 
feels like a lot of effort to think that out to me, or it could be 
because I am currently still living in a dorm (last semester of 
college!) and don't exactly have a kitchen to use for planned meals. I 
think the latter is the real issue.
I do see the benefits of 
planning out weekly menus though, grocery shopping for one should be 
much easier because you will know exactly what you need for each day of 
the week. No more running out at the last second to get an ingredient 
for something you really want to make. So in honor of my future plans to
 make weekly menus I have gathered up some free printables of weekly 
menus:
Olli Bird: 
Shown is just one of Olli Bird's two great prints based on cookware. 
 
Artsy-Fartsy Mama:
Artsy-Fartsy Mama offers the printable below in a variety of colors. 
You could have a different color for every week of the month and if you 
are like me that's exciting (because color coding is excellent).
The Project Girl:
Below is one of two great printables. Both have the added element of a 
shopping list that is separated out into food groups to make your weekly
 shopping even easier!
Tip Junkie:
I love the printables over at Tip Junkie and this one is no exception. Another example with separated colors! Yay color coding!
Hopefully
 one or more of these seems like a good fit for you. As an additional 
option/tip is to pick one you like a lot, print it out and put it in a 
glass frame. That way you can write on it with a dry erase marker and 
not print out a separate list each week. Super easy and eco-friendly!
Stay Lovely,
Katelin
