How to menu plan for a month in 30 minutes

Monthly Menu Planning Time Again, This Time With Added Video!

Time for a new monthly menu plan for us here at Planning With Kids. The months do seem to go buy so fast.

I have written how I plan for a month before on the blog, but today I decided to make a little video while I planned out our meals, to show that it is really possible to plan for a month and do it in 30 minutes.{You may need to click through to the blog to see the video here.}

You can find a step by step outline of the process I use here – How to menu plan for a month in 30 minutes, which also has the links to the templates I use as well. Please note my menu planning app has been discontinued.
