Years ago, in fact, when I had started this blog, I was into the habit of writing down my weekly menus. That was the only sane thing that kept us going, with the chaotic way things were happening with two little kids at home and a kindergartner.
We used to literally sit down for 30 mins and plan out our menu so that we can shop accordingly and also not have another thing adding up to our headache. Being organized is what I was when I had shared My Menu Planner and I even had a Sample Menu Planner. I had so many of my readers asking for this sheet, I knew this is a problem everybody seems to have. I seriously wanted to do this weekly.
After this, I went very seriously into planning a Weekly Menu for Kids. This was especially for Konda and later included the boys as well.
Then I went on to have Party Menus. Yea you get the draft, I am crazy about planning a menu. Even if one doesn't actually plan or do all that's listed, at least it helps in giving ideas.

After having been doing this for so many years, and after getting so many requests, I thought I will be able to do this only if I include my friends. Which will force me to do this seriously. So I decided I would request my BM friends to share their ideas and I have created a Weekly Menu, both for Vegetarians and Non-Vegetarians. I have ideas for Snacks and Dessert as well. However, I am yet to decide how to include those in this plan.
You can refer to my shared plan for ideas on what preps you can do on a weekend to prepare for the next week
