There is not a way to do that as the system for doing so is quite complicated and/or time consuming. So you have to do it by hand at this time. Here is a post on how you might do that more efficiently: http://onceamonthmom.com/get-started-creating-a-custom-grocery-list/

i am brand new and am probably asking a question asked, but cannot find the answer. I want to do a few of the Jan 2012 Traditional Menu to start out. I am afraid if I try all at one time, i will be overwhelmed and quit. How do i tell the recipe and shopping list to exclude certain recipes so that once i set the number of servings, the spredsheets for chopping and shopping exclude and include the right ingrediants?
thanks,
James

I agree Tricia... lunch for me is simply re-heat dinner from the night before and but the portion in half to have with a fruit or yogourt or a light rice, soup, sandwich or salad recipe.

That is an EXCELLENT question! In my mind lunches are items that simply need reheated, no cooking involved (maybe just some microwaving). In many cases that does translate to an already cooked soup. It also can be pre-cooked or wrapped sandwiches. It really can be anything and could qualify as a dinner. BUT the general rule of thumb is easy to reheat for working or busy parents and kids.

So how do you decide what constitutes lunch vs dinner in a recipe? I noticed previous menus tend to have soups as a about half of the lunch items, but I didn't know if there was a reason for it or not.

Thank you for this. You definitely do things that I have not thought of. I am going to incorporate this into my planning and it should make it a lot easier!

Thank you for writing this series! Because of my family's many diet restrictions, I frequently cannot use any of the preplanned menus that are published. I've often tried to workup my own menus, but this series you are writing gives me an outline to work from that speeds up the process immediately.
Thanks again, Tricia!
God bless you!
