If it helps this is a very small part of my 'easy-menu'

=====
(easy-menu-define sk-menu global-map "menu"
  '("Mono"
    ("Misc" ;; submenu
     ["Wrap Text" auto-fill-mode]
     ["Get colours" list-colors-display]
     ["Delete this file" delete-this-file]
     ["call paradox - package manager" paradox-list-packages]
     ["Show my cheatsheet" cheatsheet-show]
     ["typewriter-mode" centered-cursor-mode]
     ["Tea brewing time" tea-timer]
     ["Show current key-bindings" show-key-command]
     ["Set the font size" set-font-size]    

     )
    ))  
=====

And its been in constant use since November 2014!

Hope it helps, and if you need further guidance then please ask?    

Thanks
  Sharon.
