The complete meal-planning worksheet from the PDF. Open the full-size preview.

Start with what you want to serve.

Write your meal choices first, then turn the ingredients and supplies into a shopping list.

The recipe-ideas page gives your own possibilities a place to land. Separate income and expense logs keep the dates, sources and amounts of your entries together.

  1. Write the meal plan.

    Add your choices under Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snacks. List recipes you want to try on the separate ideas page.

  2. Make the shopping list.

    Use the Pantry Items, Fruit & Vegetables, Meat & Seafood and Home Supplies sections for what you need.

  3. Keep the record.

    Write the date, source and amount in the income or expense log. Add up the entries yourself and enter the total.
