The 7-Day Menu Planner: Weekly Shopping Lists, Menus, and Recipes for an Entire Year

Rating:
Summary: The ultimate menu planner
Review: The book is organized by weeks. The greatest feature is the organization of the menus and the inclusion of shopping lists. The beauty of the weekly menus is each week has only 2 days of real cooking, meat, starch, vegies and or salad. The other days of the week are creative ways to use the leftovers from the 2 cooking days. Also included are suggestions for purchased foods to help stay out of the pizza/hamburger rut. I don't recommend this books for families with young children as meals are somewhat sophisticated. However, the meals are relatively simple to prepare and provide excellent variety. It is a must for families with older elementary and high school kids with little or no variety in breakfast or lunch and who complain about having to eat the same old things
