LOVE this! I do a menu for two weeks but there are so many times when I have to swap meals. It drives me crazy then to have to remember where things go. I love that you can just swap the cards. Will definitely be making one of these!! Thanks for sharing!

This is a great idea! This would help me for sure! I work sometimes at night but don’t know my new schedule for the week until Sundays…..well I shop on Friday or Saturday….so this would allow me to be able to move things around because of my work schedule. I usually have a couple of things that are easy to fix for DH or my Mom or even our oldest son.

This just might work for our family. I am a planner/ schedule gal, but my husband often calls just before he gets off of work and is in the mood for something other than what I had planned. This would allow me to still make my menu and shopping list, but easily switch out for him without having to toss the kiddos in the van and quick visit the store, again, at the last minute! Thanks for the idea!

Dawn, I am a “fly by the seat of my pants” kind of person too, so I NEED flexibility! With most families they have the same dishes over and over each month, so why not have them printed with ingredients? No more saying, “I can’t think of anything…” ) It’s kind of like going to a restaurant and making your choices. )

Thanks for the comment.

I love the idea of the cards…the biggest reason I don’t do real specific planning is I like flexibility to change on a whim… I am really a “fly by the seat of my pants” personality and THIS may finally be the method that allows me to plan and be free! Thanks!
