The Weekly Menus Tab in Grocery-Tracker is designed to help you prepare a weeks worth of meals at a time.
In order to use the Weekly
Menus features, you must first create a list of Recipes to select from. If you simply want to use the Weekly Menus functionality
without building actual Recipes, you can simply create Recipes with a minimal amount of data, basically simply creating a list
of Recipes to select from.
The Weekly Menus screen starts out blank, waiting for you to create your menu as shown here.
