outtamyshell Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I'm thinking about signing up for one of those email services that provides dinner plans and a shopping list for the week. Has anyone tried one and liked it? I would love to get your recommendations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmel Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I've used http://www.savingdinner.com/ in the past and really liked it. She has sample menus on the site. She also has a great book (same name) that is organized by week and gives you a full year of recipes. I use it all the time. Very simple, tasty and healthy.

Dobela Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 menus4moms.com has a free one I receive each week. They also have some premium ones but I like the free one just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth in OH Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I cannot recommend The Six O'Clock Scramble highly enough. In fact, my teenage dd's recommend it to other moms! The thing that works for us where other meal planners haven't, is that it uses a lot of ingredients that I regularly cook with. It also includes one simple side dish, and uses lots of fruits and veggies. When we don't care for something that is on the menu for the week, I search the database, substitute something we would prefer, and it updates the shopping list. Here's the link: http://thescramble.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthwestMom Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 We have done the six o'clock scramble for years and love it. If you go to the website you can do a free trial. The other nice thing about the scramble is that is tags all the dishes in a variety of ways so you can see wheat-free, vegetarian, etc, if you have special dietary needs.

TwinMominTX Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I can't recommend e-mealz. I tried the recipes in the low-fat any store section and they were yucky!! We aren't picky eaters and NO ONE liked any of the meals I made in 2+ weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellyndria Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Ditto to the Saving Dinner website. They have weekly menu mailers you can get, as well as freezer menus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
