When it comes to cooking, if I don't have a planned out menu, I will fail. I am a fast food junkie and if I don't have something planned, guess what we eat! My weekly problem would be that I would plan out my menu on a scratch paper next to my grocery list. Go to the grocery store, and then throw my list away forgetting my menu was on it.
I also would get a lot of recipes online and then when it was time to make it, would have to go look it up again and waste all this time on the computer.
I can lay out a few more excuses, but you get the point!
So I made my board. I have a weekly schedule on it including a to-do list and menu for each day (Yes, I realize the lines are crooked and YES it drives me crazy. I made it while watching Desperate Housewives, so it didn't have my full attention). I can write it all up there, grab a piece of paper from the magnetic notepad and make my grocery list. I added some cork board to the bottom for any important things that we can't forget about. I can also print out any recipes and stick them in the little recipe envelope. I even made a little pen/pencil holder out of my leftover cork board. I added a receipt envelope too since I am always having to return things for some reason and throw away the receipt on accident. I hung the board next to my computer.
There you have it. My command center. It's not perfect. It's not very pretty! But it is functioning! lol.
