I try to simplify my responsibilities as homemaker, so a list of recipes hangs on the refrigerator. The ingredients are stored awaiting their transformation into yummy goodness. It works well for me.
However, I knew there had to be an easier way than searching through cookbooks every two weeks.

Then I discovered How to Menu Plan: A Guide at SimpleMom. Her idea to use Google Calendar revolutionized my menu planning. Her plan of having certain types of meals for each day of week is genius.
It took me less than an hour to set everything up, and the month and half of menus was worth it. Future plans will take mere moments. I am not a slave to paper, but the neatly printed calendar frees my mind for laundry and lesson plans.
Also, of interest is the article Make a Deli.icio.Us Coo.kbo.ok. Del.icio.us is a bookmarking site I use to store links for homeschooling, home management, craft tutorials, and a myriad of other interesting things. Now I'm adding recipes. Here is my recipe book.
Do you plan menus? If so, what is your method?

Thank you for your ideas. Once we recieved power after Gustav, I made recipe cards. I went through the cabinets and freezer to see what I had on hand to make. For everything I had I made a recipe index card. For example I had everything to make chili and tacos so I wrote a card for those.
