It’s Finally Here- the 2012 Meal Planner!!

**Update** Some of you have let me know that the orange is hard to read on the gray in the tabs and binder edge. Hopefully in the next couple of days I will get new versions uploaded in white or lighter orange relief. Feel free to use the rest of the printables until then, however, as they will stay the same.

I finally did it! I got the 2012 year-long menu planner revised and uploaded to a more friendly platform (aka- it’s NOT going to ask you to pay!!). I know many of you have been very patiently waiting and I am glad I could bring it to you at last!
It is pretty much the same as the original, only updated to only be for 2012 (January- December) and, of course, I had to jazz it up a bit with the new color of the year (tangerine tango)! Want a little peek?

Oh, ok!

Plus I have six more fun and useful pages just waiting for you to snag them (for free!)! You can access this PDF right HERE via Google Docs or you can simply click on either of the pics above!

You can still access all the directions for putting together your meal planning binder on this post

And detailed directions for how to actually accomplish all that planning here on this post.

The only thing I ask, if you choose to download my planner, is that you leave a comment to let me know what you think! I just love to hear from you guys! Oh, and if you wanted to subscribe to my blog too, it wouldn’t hurt my feelings. ;-)

Happy New Year Meal Planning!

  1. I saw this on twitter and pinned it on pinterest so I can work thru it!! Thx for sharing!!

  2. I was so happy to see this post when I logged on to my computer today. Perfect timing to start the new year right, as it is my goal to monthly menu plan this year. Thank you very much for the lovely printables.

  3. Do you only plan out dinners? I have to plan out breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack so we at least have everything on hand food-wise and have a decent rotation rather than PBJ 6 days in a row. (and I’ll add that my BusyBodyBook kinda rocks for this, even if I’d want to majorly tweak it to add certain things) :)

  4. Thank you so much! This is what I was waiting for. <3

  5. Oh, and by the way – the link to go to the post on how to accomplish all of the planning is not working. Just thought I would let you know!

  6. thank you! I am excited to try this for the new year. I do love planning, although its a pain to do I am always thankful in the end. About your new color scheme…when I printed the 2012 sheets, I can hardly read the tabs and spine that you made…the bright orange on grey is hard to read. Maybe if you did the background white like the cover page? It would be much easier to read. Thanks!

  7. So I printed this out and I’m working on it and I have only one problem with it – the tabs for the months, you can barely read them when you print them. :(

  8. What does the manga mean on the calendar page?

  9. This menu planner printable is really cute…and I love the recipe cards :) :) I found your blog via Sunny Patch Cottage :) :) Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather ;)

  10. Thanks so much for posting all the info on meal planning. I have just finished writing my list of meals, and I can’t wait to put together my binder and fill out the calanders! :)

  11. Love it!!! Getting it printed off as I type!!! I can not wait to use it!!!

  12. I just love this idea! I just downloaded everything and am going to put my binder together. It will be great to have all the recipes in one spot. Thanks!

  13. I have saved this post for almost a year. With the new year I am ready to try this! I’ll be back to let you know how it is working out. Thank you so much for sharing

  14. This is a GREAT idea! Thanks for sharing this with us!!!

  15. When I grow up, I want to be like you :)

  16. I can’t get this to open….

    And detailed directions for how to actually accomplish all that planning here on this post.

    Can you tell me what I should do….I just found this amazing idea on pinterest and now I want to know where to start

  17. Thank you so much! Im excited to start!

  18. I have a 10 week rotation of meals… so if I tried this I’d already be a 1/5 of the way done! ;)

  19. Yea, thanks, I’m going to try this!

  20. Printing it off now! Thank you for such a cute way to organize and plan menus!! Can’t wait to put it together and use it!!

  21. I found this through a “Pin” that my niece had on Pinterest. I have been a menu planner for years, and never once thought to put it all in a binder. (v-8 slap on the head). Thank you so much for the printables!

  22. Thank-you so much!! Found via Pinterest and am putting my binder together right now!! Heres to a new year of being organized and “NO-CEREAL” suppers!!

  23. This is great! Thank you! One little question though: on the monthly menu plan is manga spelled right? Just a little detail though. This is life changing: we’ve had fabulous dinners, on time, since I did the notebook!

  24. This is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing

  25. FANYAYSTIC! Thank you so much! ;o)

  26. awesome idea! Thanks for sharing!

  27. I’ve always used a calendar for planning my meals, and I have a binder with many of my recipes in it. I often “lose” the recipes that are not from my binder because I forget which cookbook they’re in. I don’t know why I never thought to include the recipe with the calendar! I’ll be trying this right away. I like the cover too. Thank you.
