menu planner/grocery list

in addition to my menu board i decided to create a menu planner/grocery list for my 2 week shopping ventures. here it is:
i like to keep things color coordinated so i matched the greens to my menu board, and my boyfriend prefers squares to any other shape so squares it is for the menu selections. i also chose to laminate it so i could save a few trees! what i do is write my meals + 2 sides  in each green box, then i use the dotted lines for the ingredients i need for those recipes. and of course there's a bottom part for other non-recipe related items.

I previously used this one from yellowinlife:
i found it on pinterest and liked the layout and the font, the problem: i plan for 2 weeks at a time and this one only has for 4 days. i also tried using this one and just made some copies that i stapled together, but i ran into the issue of when i wrote the ingredients individually under each recipe it was hard to read when i was at the store, and 2 days i planned for different chicken meals that called for the same amount of chicken and i managed to only buy enough chicken for one night. :(

so, i made some changes and made my own.  :) enjoy!
