Thank you so much for grabbing a copy of my eBook How to Meal Plan: A Step by Step Guide for Busy Moms.
I hope you’ve found the information to be helpful, as well as practical, and not to be overwhelming at all.
You do not have to be the most organized person on the planet to get dinner on the table. You don’t. Just follow the steps outlined in the book and you can get a home-cooked meal on the table night after night for your family.
Here are the printable worksheets that go along with the ebook. This is a private page and access is tracked by IP address. Only those who have purchased the eBook may have access to this page.

Often times when you have meal planning hiccups, it all goes back to that Recipe Criteria. This is a huge element of successful meal planning. Don’t let this simple worksheet fool you. You’ll discover it is the key to building your recipe list!

My 21 Recipes
Having three weeks worth of easy recipes that meet your recipe criteria will prevent meal planning burn out! Remember, you do not have to come up with 21 recipes this very minute. Build this list over time.
Print it now and list the recipe you’re making now that meet your recipe criteria. If some of the recipes you make now do not fit the bill, lose it. Save those recipes for special occasions, not for busy day-to-day meals. Trust me here.
Then, over the next few weeks build this list until you get to 21. You’ll see a huge different in dinnertime success!

Make a Grocery List
Building your grocery list is important. You would be shocked how many people go to the store without a list. My eBook taught you how to shop your pantry, fridge and freezer first.
I provide you with a grocery list worksheet as well as an inventory sheet. This will save you time and money as well as prevent shopping for things you already have on hand. And no more getting home without the important things you need- you’ve made your grocery list.

Display Your Menu
As I discuss in the eBook displaying your menu is where accountability comes in. It also helps you and your family know what to expect for the week.
