Whimsical Holiday #4: How I Meal Planned My Entire Year Ahead of Time, and The Easy Way You Can Too

Welcome to the fourth post in the Whimsical Holiday Blog Series here at Createyou86.  Do you ever feel like you have nothing in your cupboard to make for dinner?  During the pandemic I started feeling like that all too frequently.  The conversation was always "Hey babe what do you want for diner?" "I don't know what do you want?" "I don't know."  This is literally one of the most frustrating conversations one can have with a partner or even with yourself.
A couple of months ago I made a conscious decision that this conversation wasn't ever going to happen again.  At least not anytime soon.  
  • I bought an 18 month Big Happy Planner, and created my own meal planner.  You can use any size planner to do this.  
  • I took about 10 different meal plans from Pinterest that had appealing meals for my husband, and I and used each weekly section to build my own meal plan around the options on those lists.  This way it works off of an actual weekly calendar.  
This process took quite a while, but I believe that in the long run this project will completely pay off.  18 months is a lot of weeks to have to write meals for,  and I even have more room to add more to my weeks.  I left a few pages so that I could add any new recipes I might find going forward.  This also leaves room to be creative or to change things up a bit.
I posted a YouTube video all about how I created this planner.  It is posted below.  
Meal planning doesn't have to be difficult or frustrating.  Imagine being able to flip the page, and having it already done for you!!

LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS BELOW:
Do you meal-plan?  If you do what method do you use?  If you don't would you consider using this method?
