Color Coding

First step in my process for easy menu planning is color coding your recipes. I am redoing mine, because things have changed (having 3 young boys is harder than it looks), so I will share with you how I am going to do my color coding and how I will be doing it here on the blog. Of course use what ever makes most since for you, just make sure you write it down somewhere! Then when you copy a recipe make sure you write it or print it out on the correct color paper. I suggest using colored paper verses just printing it in a color so it is easy for you to find it later. Anyway, here is my color code...

Beef - Red
Pork - Pink
Chicken - White
Pasta - Orange
Vegetarian - Green
Breakfast - Blue
Dessert - Purple

I used to break it down even more, but I found that it just got to complicated. So I am just going to have 7 now.
