Printable Menu Planner: Easy Meal Planning Solution

A Printable Menu Planner will help with this scenario: At about 4.00pm, you have a decision to make! What’s for dinner? Well, what’s in the cupboard?  What’s in the fridge?  What meat is in the freezer?   Can I make a meal out of what I have or do I need to go to the shops?  What vegies are brown and limp?  What leftovers are reading to ‘get up and walk’?  What is a different meal idea?  Will the family complain with eggs on toast for the third night in a row? The best way to take the daily stress out of meal preparation is to plan ahead!
