Meal Planning

I have had the hardest time meal-planning ever since...well, for as long as I've had to! As a college student, it was just so hard to cook well for just myself. Why put the effort into a real meal? After too much cereal, mac and cheese, and grilled cheese sandwiches, my buddies and I found temporary salvation in the world's best dinner club. Woo hoo!! I still miss it, because meal planning is hard. I don't mind thinking up what to eat. I don't mind cooking something to eat. It's the having the right things that gets to me! I just can't stand wandering through a grocery store, trying to pick out the right combination of things to make dinner for a few days. I can't stand writing down a week's worth of ideas and buying a gazillion things. And I just don't have the time to coordinate recipes that have similar ingredients.

Enter: E-Mealz!



I think I like it, people. Lots of different meal plan options. (Low-fat, low-carb, vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.) Super-cheap. Every week, you get a meal plan with a grocery list. All the meals can be prepared in half-an-hour or less! Easy recipes. Tasty. Easy to scratch off ingredients from your grocery list if you nix one or two of the meals (they label all ingredients by meal). The grocery list even comes organized by aisle. With links to coupons. You can even sign up for a Walmart plan, or a Ralphs plan, or other grocery stores, and the recipes will be coordinated with the specials the grocery store is having that week. Holy cow, they've thought of everything! Try it!

But if you try it, remember two things:
1) Sign up for it by coming back here and clicking my banner link in this post! I get some kind of referral bonus. :)
2) Use the coupon code: dave

I think this may be my salvation. Liking it so far!
