I’ve been using Google calendar to manage our menus the last few weeks, and I am in LOVE with it! I have our “Menu” calendar color coded with an aqua blue, and I’ve recently discovered that I can set the calendar to repeat the appointment. So, when I made our menu for this coming week, I set a few of the dishes to repeat in two weeks. Voila! My menu plan, in two weeks, will be partially planned already.
Why not set it so every dish repeats? I want to have room to try new recipes, for leftovers, and for actives that pop up at a last minute’s notice. I have it set to email me a reminder one day in advance, so I know what’s coming up and if I need to stop at the store to get anything last minute. It’s so great!
Menu Plan {April 1}
Sunday: Pizza Night
Monday: Crockpot Pork Tenderloin/Broccoli
Tuesday: Dinner @ Family for a Birthday
Wednesday: Hamburgers/Homemade French Fries/ Salad
Thursday: Breaded Garlic Chicken in Lemon Butter Sauce/Pasta/Green Beans
Friday: Lime and Chicken Burritos/Beef Soft Tacos/Cilantro Lime Rice
That is SUCH a good idea. I have mine on a spreadsheet atm but since I can't get it from my phone, I'm always forgetting what I had planned!
I'm going to check out Google calendar. Thanks for the tip 🙂

Great idea to use Google calendar to plan meals! Make me wonder why I didn't ever think of it before.
Thanks for the tip.

I have been using google calendar for the past few months and love it! Everyone in our home can see the menu online anytime and I can easily change things around. It’s wonderful! I’m glad I’m not the only one who has discovered how great this is. Though I colour code with yellow…seemed important to point out, haha.
