E-Mealz!

I am part of a internet based mommy group. We use to be a public message board but recently changed to a private invite only board for security purposes. We are all based out of Indiana, mostly in the Indy area and have get togethers and playdates all the time. Recently, one of the moms mentioned she signed up for e-mealz. For 3 months of meal planning it was $12.50. I signed up for the Kroger meal plan and its been great!

Every other Friday I get my 2 week Kroger meal plan. It is a meal plan for 7 meals, and 5-6 people. The meal plans on based on Krogers sale items which is great! We, Ryan especially, has enjoyed trying new things. Even though we only cook about 5 times a week I chose the 7 meals per week since I am picky I have an option to switch a meal out. And 5-6 people option I can have leftovers for lunch.

E-mealz has a bunch of different menu options and stores options, Walmart, Aldi, to weight watchers, low cal, low fat, meal for 2, ect. Each week the dinners cost about $50-70 and the recipes aren't crazy. The ingredients are all everyday things. And if you need to buy a whole onion but only use half an onion for one recipe another recipe that week will call for the other half.

We just started it but I am excited to have new food options. I was getting tired of the same things over and over. I only plan on doing it for 3-6 months and then cancel it but save all the recipes so we have them on file.

This week we have had homemade pizza rolls, pulled pork sandwiches, chicken casserole, bow-tie lasagna, and onion smothered pork chops. So far they have all been a huge success! Even my picky little Raegan has eaten them! The menu is for the main course but tells you to pair the chicken casserole with green beans and bread or the pizza rolls with a caesar salad.

Looking forward to getting my new 2 week menu emailed tomorrow!
