This is what I use for our dinner menu. I have a Meal label and a Prep label for each day. In "Prep" I write down what I need to do that day to be ready to make the next day's meal. For example, if we're doing something that involves chicken on Tuesday, then under Wednesday's prep I would write "chicken" so I would be reminded to take chicken breasts out of the freezer and put them in the fridge to thaw. That way I don't have to thaw the chicken or beef or whatever in the microwave when I want to make dinner the next day. Each menu is big enough for me to put the entire month on the same menu. Another thing I like about having a menu is creating variety - I can make sure we're not eating the same meal over and over again - makes for more exciting dinnertime. I also use my menu to make my shopping list, and to remind myself of any fresh things we'll need to buy closer to a meal like mushrooms and other produce that will go bad if I buy it two weeks in advance.
