As most of you know, I plan my meals on a weekly basis. I originally created a Utensils and Buttons Weekly Meal Planner to replace my lack-luster computer paper list. Because I loved that one so much I decided to make another one! If you print out 52 inside pages you are covered for one full year! Just bind it together (Staples or Fed-Ex Kinko’s does it for cheap) and you’ll have a great place for your menu planning. And don’t forget the matching recipe book!
Don’t you think these would make great, inexpensive gifts for any newlywed?
Download the Owl Weekly Meal Planner
I also have a matching Recipe booklet!
Download the Owl Recipe Book
The first page of the pdf are the covers. The second pages are to be used for categories. Print multiples of the third page, which is the recipe cards. Print everything out, cut in half and bind to create a great little place for all of your recipes.
UPDATE: I’m glad to see that so many people are getting a use out of my planner. I have personally used the meal planner for two years now and it still works exactly the way I created it for! AND since I have it bound, if I can’t think of a dinner I can flip back through the pages to get ideas.
Check out my two other free printable menu planners:
thanks for this! Ill be making myself a menu plan book this weekend!
Thank you! Your meal planner was pinned on Pinterest and I found you that way. 🙂
I’ve pinned this on Pinterest! Thanks!
I love your blog and the planner!! I think it’s so nifty. I tried downloading it but it keeps giving me an MP3 file of a song “Boy Peacemaker”. Maybe I’ll try again later. Thanks!!
So cute, thanks!
how did you turn it into a spiral note book? its just adorable ! would make an awesome bridal shower gift.
chadzgirl – I tried to reply by email but you don’t have your email address in your profile. 🙁 I have a binding machine that I used. You can have it done at Staples or Fed-Ex Kinkos.
thanks so much! I guess I should add my email to my profile ! thanks again 🙂
I am having issues downloading it at the shared file place, could you email it to me? Thanks so much!!

What a fabulous freebie! I did not have any issues downloading it. Thank you so much for taking the time to put that together and making it available. I’ve been searching for something that will stick [menu planning wise] and I have a good feeling about this! 🙂
Thanks! I love it! I downloaded it fine but it was just the front and back covers. Is the middle page also available for download? Thanks again!

Made it! Love it! THANKS!!!
(and thanks to whoever pinned this on Pinterest)
Menu and life saver!
Do you have the recipe book in an editable format (so I can type in the recipes, and not write them all in)? Thanks so much! I love the meal planner — and the “cuteness” of it all!
Marsha,
I’m sorry, I don’t. But that’s a good idea!
I just found you! I love the idea of having my menus bound together! Thanks 🙂
I love this, thanks for sharing, I’m going to repost to my page!!!
I also found you on Pinterest! Thank you sooooo much for this planner!
I am making a schedule binder for 2012 and have been looking for a menu plan sheet with a grocery list along with it and this should work perfect. Thanks so much. I will definitely be linking to it when I finish and write the tutorial of it.
Totally great idea for bridal showers or even Christmas Presents.
I tried to download, but the page said I had to join and pay for a membership for the 4shared.com site? Is that correct? Thanks. jamilynn294 {at} yahoo {dot} com

Thank You SOOOO much.
You do not need to join the site to download this freebie. After hitting Download Now it brings you to a second page where it says Fast Download, Slow Download. If you want to pay to be a member, you can download the file right away without waiting. If you don’t want to pay to be a member then you just click Slow Download and after 20 seconds it will give you the link to download the meal planner.
I am so excited. I have been wanting to start a menu planner but couldn’t find the one I thought I would stick with. I LOVE this one! And you are very generous to offer it for free! Thank you!
