Printable: cute meal planning template

in: Food & Mealtime, Organizing Time & Space

What's for dinner? If I haven't planned the week's meals, it's the most tedious question in the world. Enter Futuregirl's adorable menu planning template. Graphical spots in each column for the meal, the grocery needs, and notes. I love how there are no days of the week listed — the idea is that you can plan for six dinners in a week, and scrounge or eat out one day.

Read the full post at Futuregirl, or download the planner to use yourself.
