Here's this week's menu plan and grocery shopping list! I created this handy dandy free printable google doc for you to print if you'd like to follow our menu plan – hopefully it makes your life a little simpler this week (let me know if you like it!) If you're new to Google Docs, here's how to print your list:
- Open the document HERE
- Click “file” in the top left hand corner of the screen
- Click “print” at the bottom of that menu and print your list
If you're hoping to get on track too, check out my Menu Planning board on Pinterest where I've got all the links to the recipes we're eating each week. Head on over HERE to check that out, and I'd love for you to join all the PPP boards on Pinterest too.

This is awesome, I love it! Most days, I look at your posts from work & we can’t access Google Docs….I don’t want to cause you more work, because you do enough for us already! But if it’s not too much trouble, could you possibly make it available as a .pdf document too? I think I can open that type of file from work. 🙂
Hi Donna! I’m going to look into how hard it would be to create a PDF – one other thing in the mean time though would be to possibly just copy and paste the info in the post into a document and then print it? I think you have to have a PDF writer (or something) but will see what I can find out. So glad it helps you!
