New Blog Design + DIY Weekly Menu Board

Not only did I decide that my blog needed yet another design makeover, I also added a Weekly Menu section. It's the third section on the right side of my blog and it looks a little something like this:

Weekly Menu

• Monday: Caesar Artichoke Pepperoni Pizza with Feta
• Tuesday: Modified Chicken Tailgate Sandwiches
• Wednesday: Garden Vegetable Pasta Skillet
• Thursday: Grilled Chicken and Mashed Potatoes
• Friday-Saturday: Kitchen Break
• Sunday: Sesame Noodles with Peanut Sauce
• Treats: Oatmeal Peanut Butter Bites
• Dessert: No-Bake Butterfinger Pretzel Cheesecake
• I thought it'd be a fun idea to share what we're eating over here at the Nielson household every week. I plan out a weekly menu every Monday and try to keep my weekly grocery budget under $50. That may sound like a lot, but if you were to eat out every day you could easily double that. In the near future, I will also do a post about how you can keep you're weekly budget to $50, too. 
• Anyway, my husband made me the dry erase menu board pictured above for Christmas after finding the idea saved on my Pinterest account. 
• It makes keeping a weekly menu so easy and it's fun, too!
• If you'd like to make one yourself you'll need: scrapbook paper sheet, a frame, and a dry erase marker
• Directions: Open this template, print onto some scrapbook paper trimmed down to 8 1/2 x 11 inches and place in a frame. If you can't find an 8 1/2 x 11 frame, just trim the paper down to 8 x 10 after you've printed it. Pretty simple, eh?
