Menu planning is most successful if you are organized. If you don’t have a plan, you will be wasting time, money and most likely gas eating out a lot. Sound familiar to some of you? By creating a menu planning area in your home, you will have the tools to succeed with family meals. It only takes a little time to create a fabulous menu planning door and very little money. Keep reading to see how 3M Command helped me create my own menu planning door in my kitchen.
I wanted my menu planning door to match the decor in my kitchen so I went with a “vintage” style EAT sign, distressed chalkboard and cute recipe cards made from kraft colored paper. You can create your own menu planning door with whatever matches your kitchen best.
By using 3M Command products, you will have a damage free door. So if you ever decide to change it up a bit, its super easy to remove.
The damage free products from 3M Command are easy to use. Just follow the directions on the back of the package. I used the picture hanging strips to hang the chalkboard and letters.
Use a chalkboard or white board to write down your weekly menu for all to see.
You can find recipe cards just about anywhere or you can make them yourself and cut them out. Write down recipes from Pinterest, your favorite cookbook or even cherished recipes from your grandmother.
I punched a hole in the corners and hung the recipe cards on the Command Key Rail with a metal clasp. I use each hook for different meal categories (breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert).
Don’t forget to use a Command Spring Clip to hang your coupons. If I don’t see my coupons, I always forget to use them.
This project was completed in no time and has made a huge difference in my menu planning, thanks to 3M Command. I love it!

I LOVE this, I wish I had a big pantry door to do this to. I love your style Toni it is just absolutely beautiful!
I love Command products. Haven’t seen those clips yet though, so will search them out. Have been looking for something to hang up the recipes i’ve chosen to use for the week and those clips seem perfect.

Hi Toni, Whot a fun door. I am pinning this to my Home Management Pinterest board. I have a meal planning station too. Makes Monday meal planning go so much faster with everything in one spot.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea!! Those command “strips” don’t even look like it. Wow!
This is an awesome solution! Love the dark contrast on the light door.
Oh this is cute!! I really like that idea. I need to this in my memory bank. We are moving into the city of Atlanta in a few weeks and space will be limited. Anything that saves space will be very necessary.
you think of the cutest ideas! love this!
Beautiful! You ladies have some great ideas. Will the Home Organization 101 be going for a 4th round this year by any chance? Just discovered it on Pinterest and am in dire need of support to keep myself motivated. The house will need an overhaul after my wedding is over and done with!
You may see it again soon but in the mean time, feel free to start it. You can follow the 14 week challenge on my blog. 🙂
