Meal planning, prep, cooking, eating…all of it is hard.
I struggled to make decisions around food. Meal planning was impossible. I was improvising every single day.
So I asked myself what I LIKE to eat. And I made a list. And then I used that list to make a BUNCH of menus, as if I was eating from a restaurant…at home. Every single night.
Now when I meal plan, I feel like I’m reserving my favorite food ahead of time, instead of scrabbling around in my pantry for something to endure.
I made the menus using free restaurant menu templates, personalized them, printed them out, and now I’m flipping through them and giving you the deep dive on my home kitchen menus.

This is so clever! Also, hello background bunny lol
Oh I am so excited I cracked open a word document abd just started listing out foods and catergorizing them so that I can build this for myself!!! Thanks Joy!!!
This was an awesome video! Very fun idea! I love this! I want to do something similar to organize my menu. It's genius to sort menus by types of cuisines! Because I have trouble making decisions, I may need this, but may also find myself overwhelmed by choice, so I may pair this menu with a paper dice I could fold or unfold that has ethnic food types on the side, like French, Italian, Mexican, Mediterranean, Japanese, etc… just in case my cravings are non-existent and I need a guide to inspire me and narrow my choices down. I could make a few different dice, too, that have other options on it. Super cool video! 👌💗
This is such a fine idea to look for inspo from restaurant menus! I've done that in the sense of trying to recreate a favorite dish, but not beyond that.
Awesome, might start doing this as someone who does most of the cooking in the household
Kids and guests would love this idea 😊
I really love this idea, I will have to try it!
This is absolute genius! It can take my partner and I hours to decide what to eat let alone cook I am very much stealing this!
I really shouldn’t get so overwhelmed and irritated when I have to think about what to eat for dinner everyday. I actually feel like making these would make everything easier, as far as planning and even getting excited by the meals I have planned
This is an amazing idea. Thinking of meal planning can be super overwhelming but I love the idea of curated set of things that I like.
this is incredible!
omg tysm for sharing. will def do this!!
