Re: Need Detailed Sample Menu for 2-week bishop food order
In what I thought was a flash of inspiration, I searched for "random menu generator". The results were more entertaining than useful. :/
Refining my search, I did find 15 Tips for Better Weekly Meal Planning
And of course, Pinterest to the rescue.

Re: Need Detailed Sample Menu for 2-week bishop food order
It appears that everyone has no idea how to answer your question. I am also very surprised that nobody has done this on the past or they are unwilling to share or have tead your question. I had exactly what you wanted and can not find it anywhere. I will keep looking. It broke down items in the store house for breakfast, lunch, and dinner using only the items available. I wish the church would have an online app that would assist in this effort. It would be more productive for all. If i find it i will postbit. If you find something that is useful please share.

Re: Need Detailed Sample Menu for 2-week bishop food order
Both my wife and I are still waiting for someone to help. So far, no 2-week detailed sample menus that show the food items and the serving sizes in order to figure out what size of commodity is needed to fit the menu on a bishop's food order.LisaKeck wrote:What a good idea! Did you ever find one?
Once the details are provided, then the next step toward self-reliance would be to help with local food coupons, sales, buying in season without having to pay higher prices out-of season, and a host of smart shopping.
In the 1970's this was all standard teaching. But somehow in 1995 (when the internet started) everything must have gone "poof".

Re: Need Detailed Sample Menu for 2-week bishop food order
As a new Relief Society President I need the same thing. I am very conscious of my responsibility in administering the Lords assets sparingly and responsibly. Unfortunately I do not have a degree in dietary services. I have looked everywhere I can think of for a basic menu plan for 1 person for 2 weeks. Since I find none I have to resort to gut instinct. I hope someone who is good with dietary needs and spreadsheets will come up with a cheat sheet. I know there are some available at cost, but the cost is not minimal.

I'd suggest consulting with the Stake Relief Society PresidentLmow wrote:As a new Relief Society President I need the same thing.
Handbook 2: 15.4.1: The principal responsibilities of stake auxiliary presidencies are to assist the stake presidency and to instruct and support ward auxiliary presidencies.
Handbook 2: 9.8.2: Members of the stake Relief Society presidency ensure that ward Relief Society presidents understand welfare principles and that they understand their role to help bishops in welfare matters.

Re: Need Detailed Sample Menu for 2-week bishop food order
Unfortunately, no one on the stake level has any 2-week menu samples for a bishop's order. The principles are well understood, as when a child is instructed to "eat a balanced meal". But when some "children" ask about a two-week menu - all they get is a reminder to eat a balanced meal.russellhltn wrote:I'd suggest consulting with the Stake Relief Society PresidentLmow wrote:As a new Relief Society President I need the same thing.

Re: Need Detailed Sample Menu for 2-week bishop food order
Understood, but the official line of support for a ward is to go to the stake. If they don't know, they have line of authority to ask.Michael_Newman wrote:Unfortunately, no one on the stake level has any 2-week menu samples for a bishop's order.
As much as we try to help, LDSTech isn't an official line of support for that. If nothing has been published, we have nothing to refer to.

I have been asked by my Bishop to do my first training. I created these as template. Hopefully they can be of help to others.
