Just a quick note...

I really dislike planning meals. I don't mind cooking them, I just need to know what to cook! So Amy (Brianna's piano teacher & fellow school teacher) had been raving about this on-line meal planning program. I decided to check it out. It is amazing! You subscribe to the program, it costs $15 for 3 months. Once a week a new menu is posted. You can pick a specific store plan (they plan the meals around what is on sale at the store that week) or an any store plan (which is what I did). Then you can choose a meal plan for 2 people or 4-6 people and you can choose a low fat menu, too. I just did the any store for 4-6 people. Once a week I get a new menu with 7 meals on it. The are quick, simple and so far they've all been doable (except the fish one...)! I already have 3 1/2 weeks worth of meals, because you can print the sample menu which just shows 1/2 a week. Then, 2 weeks worth of menu's are posted at time so I printed those and then the next day my new weeks menu came up so I printed that. And the best part is page 2... it's a grocery list for everything that is needed for the week. It's so cool & definitely worth it for the price, I think! Check it out if you wish... https://e-mealz.com/

Come to think of it, maybe the best part is not having to ask the question "What do you want for dinner tonight?" and getting the standard "I don't know" for an answer! It was so nice coming home from work yesterday & know what I was making & know what I was making for the next 6 days, too. I don't know that I've every planned meals ahead that far!!

I would check it out, but I have to ask Mike each day what he wants as he is pretty picky about what he FEELS like eating each day... But he is good about telling me what to have. It would be nice to have the grocery list to accompany the meal planning. We live very near a grocery store so it isn't a huge problem, but it would be if we didnt have the store so close. And the girls are happy with your meals???! That would be a plus!!! lol

They were happy with them on paper (except the fish one). I just started making them last night & Brianna missed it because of work, but the rest of us enjoyed it!
