## Purpose
Keep MySimpleMenu cycle menus complete and accurate from the food meal calendar so weekly/monthly menus for Erica Harris are ready for submission.
## Prerequisites
- Sign in to MySimpleMenu with the client’s approved credentials via the organization’s password manager.
- Have the food meal calendar for the weeks you will enter.
## Procedure
### 1. Identify the week to upload
1. Open **Menu Settings → Cycle Menu Calendar**.
2. Note weeks with no uploads.
3. Confirm the food meal calendar covers the next weeks you will enter.
### 2. Open the menu template
1. Go to **Menu Settings → Edit Menu Template**.
2. Select the menu week you are working on.
3. Use the day **+** control to add meals for each day.
### 3. Enter Breakfast, Lunch, and PM Snack
For each meal period, fill the CACFP-style categories as presented in the system (typically Milk, Fruits/Vegetables, Vegetable, Grain, Meat, plus extras when shown):
1. Choose food items from the pre-populated lists.
2. Save after each meal period.
3. If two items fall in one category, upload one (except Milk, which may allow the documented exception).
4. Search carefully if an item name is unclear; the system blocks entries that exceed allowed item counts.
5. Repeat for every day of the week.
### 4. Close out
Update Hubtasks/Worklenz with completed, pending, or remaining menu weeks.
