The ever popular Weekly Bento Planner and Weekly Menu Planner forms are now available in more languages, thanks to our great international community. In addition to German, Portuguese and the original English, we now have French, Norwegian and Hungarian versions. Go to either page to download them. Many thanks to Ren for the Hungarian and Norwegian translations, Céline for the French version, and Antje for putting the forms together!
One thing I love about the Just Bento community is how international it is. Now thanks to Momoko * Bárbara, we have Portuguese versions of our Weekly Bento and Menu Planners, in addition to the original English and German. Many thanks to Momoko * Bárbara, as well as Antje who made the forms that much easier to adapt to other languages! If you'd like to tackle other language versions of the forms, just let me know! * Weekly Bento Planner page * Weekly Menu Planner page

The Weekly Menu Planner With Bento Lunch Box - now with Weekend Page 2

[Update:] Now with a second page for the weekend plus expanded shopping list! See below.

Last year I introduced the Weekly Bento Planner, a simple form to plan your bento lunches. It's been very popular, and both files have been downloaded thousands of times.

One comment I got several times was that the form was fine for mapping out the week's bento plans, but what if you wanted to plan all of your meals for the week too? To address this need, after a lot of thinking and testing - and just in time for the Bento Challenge! - I present you the Weekly Menu Planner With Bento Lunch form.

The Weekly Bento Planner

The Weekly Bento Planner is a simple one-page form that I use to plan out my week, bento-wise. I don't really bother to plan out my other meals, but since time is at such a premium in the morning when I'm assembling bentos, I spend a few minutes on the weekend writing out what I intend to make for bentos during the upcoming week.
