Chalkboard Menu {Guest Post}

August 5, 2014 By Shannah Coe 5 Comments

I am so excited about today’s post! You see, Sarah {from Little Red Brick House} and I have something major in common: a love for chalkboard paint. Combine that with a love of staying organized and menu planning and we might as well be sisters. She is sharing her awesome chalkboard menu here today.

********************************************

I’m so, so excited to be guest posting here today on Just Us Four! Thank you so much, Shannah, for having me! My name is Sarah and I blog over at Little Red Brick House about all things creative, with an emphasis on DIY and home decor.

I have a small obsession with chalk boards. I mean, there’s one on my Wall Organizer in the front entry, one as a Calendar/Memo Board in my dining room/schoolroom (we homeschool) and now one in my kitchen! I would probably paint everything in chalkboard paint if my husband would let me. 😉

I like to plan my meals for the week ahead and I got tired of searching for my meal planning notebook every time I needed to know what was for dinner. Not to mention, an old spiral notebook isn’t very inspiring! I decided to make a chalkboard menu for the wall so I could just glance over at it when needed. It was such a simple project but it’s been super functional for me and I’m loving it so much!

Ok, lovelies, help me out. I want to know what is on YOUR menu this week. Sure, I’m still sharing some great ideas down below but I’d love to hear what you have cookin!

Sunday: Sundays are just the perfect days to have slow roasted meats, like this herb roasted pork loin, for dinner.

Monday: Salads are always great during the summer because they give a meal a lighter feel. I am loving the idea of a chicken rice salad.

Happy Wednesday! In our house, Wednesday equals menu plan day. That is how What to Cook Wednesday was born and I look forward to it each and every week.

Now, let’s look at some foooooddddd

Sunday: Mathlete loves Greek food. So, it only makes sense to make sure he gets some of it on Father’s Day. This year, I’m thinking Greek style grilled pork chops will be on the menu.

Don’t worry though. I am still here with ideas for your weekly menu BUT the commentary will be very brief…like non-existent 🙂

Whew, my friends, we have made it to Wednesday! That means we are so close to the glorious time that is the weekend! For a lot of people the weekend also means grocery shopping so Wednesday seems like a great day to make our weekly menu plan!

Let’s take a look at some ideas that made it into this week’s What to Cook Wedneday!

Sunday: Few foods evoke childhood memories for me the way fried chicken does! A pan fried chicken sandwich with avocado hash seems like a very grown-up way to enjoy my childhood favorite.
