How did your list go of your favorite recipes? (See previous post)
There are so many ways to turn this into a menu plan.
You can divide 100 by the number of meal items you have to decide how many times to make it in 3 months. Some use 14 items 7 times, and it keeps the weeks easy to plan because of the number of days in a week and you don't have the same thing twice in 2 weeks. Others I've seen use 10x10- ten items, ten times. Whichever is simple for you.

- You can have a calendar and put meal items on assigned days to have a rotating monthly schedule. I've even read about families that have the same thing every week and assign days. Then leave one day of the week open to try something new.
- You can give each day of the week a theme, and then put the meal items in the themes and just do different variations each week- this is what we do. Mostly cultural themes- Asian, Italian, Mexican and Western but there's also leftover night, Subway night (my day off- 2 foot longs for $10 after 4pm) and crockpot night.
What works for your family?
