Project Purple version of a Meal Planner

Here is my version of a MEAL PLANNER:

It's on my pantry door.  Remember when I did my pantry makeover?

Well I've been slacking in the cooking department.

So to get myself motivated I decided to take this Meal Planner Board

and Project Purple it!

I have tried to do meal planning before but always felt like I had to do 5-7 meals a week.  That never worked as we'd eat out, one set or both sets would take us out during the week, one set or both sets would cook for us during the week or we'd have enough left overs we could have lunch and dinner the next day.

(these are NOT complaints just the facts.)  So I decided since there are four of us we could each pick one dinner for the week. 

So I added to my pantry door

purple vinyl cut on my silhouette

People's Choice Menu

an S, D, W & B

The hook was already under the B from our snack stickers

(see pantry makeover or below)

So I added 4 more command hooks and hung our stickers back 

Then I did a "print and cut" on my silhouette.

I typed all of our favorite meals

(the black line on the bottom indicates a side/veggie item)

 Then my favorite guy and I laminated, cut, corner rounded and hole punched the meals and side/veggie tags.

Now we can each pick at the beginning of the week, shop together for our items on the list and eat healthier!
