Monthly Meal Planner

Pink.

Hi Tracey,

As your thread has dropped down the Old Style board I've added it to the main monthly meal planner thread where others have posted about how they go about monthly meal planning and where you should find lots of advice.

It might also help to look at the previous weekly mealplan threads for meal inspiration. Here is this week's thread which has just begun:

MealPlans WB 5th Sept 2010

For others just search for threads with mealplans in the title.
