Monthly Menu Plan for May – Sign Up Below w/ Your Link
I’m joining up with I’m an Organizing Junkie with this monthly menu.
I’m a little under the weather as I type this – also had my parents here this weekend so I’m running behind on getting my May menu up.
April was the first time I tried writing up a menu for the whole month. Previously, I just wasn’t interested. Well that mindset has completely changed. I’m LOVING it. Having an assigned day for certain types of foods simplifies the choosing of recipes. Elk on Monday, Italian on Tuesday, Hamburger meat on Wednesday and so on. You can read about it here in my post called Monthly Menu Plan for April where I explain the whole process of how I make my monthly menu plans.
From last month’s menu there were 4 new recipes that were keepers.
Italian Sausage Soup w/ Tortellini (this was the top favorite)
Time for another month of meals .

How do you get your menu on the calendar? I’ve made mine for the month, but my calendar would only allow me to type one line per day. At this point, I made my own calendar in excel, but yours looks so tidy.

Lily, You made me laugh when I read your comment because I know how we “organize lovers” like things to be in order. I used Printmaster for my calendar. I really like Printmaster and have used it for years. Incidentally, I used your idea of Google Docs to upload my calendar this month. Thanks for showing me a new way!
