Keep Calm and Plan Dinner for THE CUTTING CAFE


Lately we have had an on-going debate between Lexi & THE MAN. She feels quite strongly that both of the male members of our household need to contribute to dinner suggestions. As she is generally the only person in the house who cares what we have to eat, it falls on her often to come up with ideas when we are out shopping. The fact that the "Big Man" is unwilling to help in her mind gives the Little Man excuses. Little does she know that most guys in my experience just don't care....but anyhow...

We eat a lot of chicken and mac & cheese.

It usually feels like I am rushing off Saturday am armed with a scribbled list and frantically grocherying. I grab what looks good at the time without a plan. Sometimes I forget the lettuce when I wish to have salad....

Now, imagine Regina from THE CUTTING CAFE way over there on the other side of the US magically stepping in with her Magic Wand to make my life easier.

Voila!


I present to you the Kitchen Meal Planner! Printed out on kraft paper which reminds me of those brown paper bags from long long ago....we have no excuse to come up with some original ideas.


I have a calendar in the front (need to print a few more pages off for the rest of this year) as we are always trying to figure out dates during supper.


And in the middle, I have my favorite. Nice Sturdy Lists ready to go! I am very pleased with the fact my little people will have to write in the lines. Nothing like having a list with eight items and a huge piece of crinkly paper wadded up in my pocket.


Alright, now a photo of my kitchen for all of you (Lisa) who are stalking my kitchen. ;-)


























I have a LOT of yellow so used yellow roses on the front. I also used one of the graphics Regina provided for the cover! Love it! My very Brittish Lexi will love it!


I have just used a couple of the files from this planner! You could use it to create a daily planner or calendar gifts, or dream journal. Fun stuff!
