Meal planning calendar

I have used both a monthly calendar to plan meals, and a basic list of days/weeks in a word document for meal planning.  It's really up to you!  Although it may sound crazy to plan for the month, there are always going to be those signature meals you and the family enjoyed that you may want to spread out throughout each month just to get started.  Those will eventually become your easy go to meals.  So, in list format you may want to start with this:

I know...it seems obvious...but I wanted to do the work for you!  Just copy and paste now!  Once you start finding those meals your family loves, add one or two a week at the beginning of the month, and that is one or two less meals you'll have to plan for that given week.
