Monthly Menu Planner by Vertex42.com 2010 Vertex42 LLC Instructions - Don't edit the gray cells. The names of the meals are used to populate the drop-down boxes in the Menu worksheet. Delete the meal columns and ingredient rows that you don't need. The calculations assume that you cannot make partial recipes. - To add meals: Copy an existing column then insert the copied column. - To add ingredients: Copy an existing row then insert the copied row. - Enter recipe amounts using the units in column C - If a cell is highlighted red in the Meals row, that means the ingredients for that meal are not yet defined. - Use column D to convert amounts into units that may be more useful when purchasing the ingredients. - If you want to include prices, enter the price per unit in column G based on the units in column F.
