Step 1
Before making a menu for a month, analyze the taste preferences of family members, since it is from them that you need to build on when thinking about dishes. Consider weekends and holidays, as these days are usually more complex and interesting recipes. If you can't do this right away, just write down on a separate sheet the dishes that have been prepared during the previous month. Then, for the compilation of a new menu, there will already be an approximate list on hand, it remains only to streamline and supplement it.
Step 2
Don't try to cover the whole month at once, plan your menu for the week. Take an album sheet and divide it into several columns: meat and fish dishes, soups, side dishes, salads, pastries. Enter the names of the recipes used in the family in these boxes. This list will help you make choices easier when compiling your daily menu.
Step 3
When the list is ready, grab your notebook and start making a rough meal plan for the week. Since in many families they cook for several days at once, then in fact for 7 days you will need to come up with just a few different recipes for hot and meat dishes. The main focus will be on the side dishes. When choosing dishes, consider different variations on the same food, which will save you time for preparing meals. Let's say you can make minced meat not only cutlets, but also soup with meatballs.
Step 4
It remains only to calculate how much food will be required to prepare the planned dishes and purchase them immediately for one or two weeks. Bulk purchases provide an opportunity to save money and avoid buying unnecessary products that you can do without. You only have to visit the store once every few days to buy fresh bread and dairy products.
