Meal planner notepad after notepad were not living up to my expectations. For a long time I bought a meal planning notepad off Amazon for $11 twice a year. It wasn’t anything special. It was one-sided and an ok color, but I felt like I was getting in a rhythm with my meal planning and the notepad did the job it was meant to do for the most part.

The idea for the meal planner notepad
The meal plan notepad I used had a magnetic backing so it stuck right to the front of my fridge for easy access. While the front of the notepad was great to plot out my meals for the week, I started to notice that I was using the blank back of the notepad to plan my grocery list. It was convenient, I didn’t have to use another piece of paper, and it kept everything together. As I continued to use the back of the notepad for that it made me think, “this could be so much better!” I knew I could upgrade my weekly meal planner pad to something even more beautiful and something even more useful.
Designing the upgraded notepad
So I got to work with my designer friend from amyamybobamy and we created draft of the meal planner notepad. Using feedback from my Instagram community we tweaked and tweaked until finally it was born, the best meal planner notebook! A two-sided magnetic meal planner that helps plan weekly meals AND helps you organize your grocery list for the following week.
BONUS — it’s a beauty! The fun feel-good design makes it a no brainer to display proudly on your fridge.
So often food planners are ugly or they don’t hit the mark for how we truly plan meals. This meal planning planner does it all!
