In essence, More Thyme and its flagship web service called Meal Mixer, are lifestyle
brands for those who want healthy relationships with food, their body and their
family.
Meal Mixer is an innovative way of looking
at home cooking and family health from
a long-term, wholistic, and educational perspective. Busy schedules, confusing
grocery stores, out-moded cookbooks, and nutrition confusion makes it very easy
to throw your hands up and succomb to meal monotony and the powerfully
persuasive advertising of the consumer packaged foods and drive-thru industries.
Not knowing what might taste good or be good for you (and your kids!), results in
repeatedly shopping for and cooking the same basic meals. You may think you're getting
by, but the reality is you simply aren't getting what you deserve from the more
than $5,000 you spend on groceries each year. There's so much more you can
get: better taste, better variety, healthier meals, and meals that support
your health goals. You get all of this by using Meal Mixer. And you'll
also waste less food, spend less money at the drive-thru, and be happy knowing you're
doing the right thing for you and your loved ones..
Clearly people want to look healthy, be healthy, and as a result live a longer more
fulfilling life. Central to this goal is what you eat, period! If you
love to cook, Meal Mixer makes organizing your meals and shopping a breeze, with
an eye toward nutrition. If you're not the next Wolfgang Puck or Martha Stewart,
you'll be right at home with thousands of people looking to make home cooking a way of bring joy into their life, health into their body, and really connect with
their family on a daily basis.
Get Great Meals On Your Table
There are many steps involved in getting great meals to the table: finding new
and interesting recipes that fit into your family’s diet and taste, adding side
dishes, getting all the ingredients onto your shopping list, and keeping track of
the recipes and when you are serving them. Meal Mixer is the tool that makes this
easy. You can get a week’s worth of meals that fit you and your family in 3 easy
steps, and never again have to worry about what’s for dinner and if it fits into
a healthy diet.
Saving Time. More Flavorful Meals. A Healthier, Longer Life
You save time in the planning process.
Meal Mixer is lightning fast in its ability to find meals based on your taste or
dietary needs. A few clicks and you have a meal on your plan. A few
minutes and you have an entire meal plan for the week. And you won't have
to waste your time looking at annoying video ads. You'll also save money in the
process.
You'll have more flavorful, enjoyable meals.
Why trust some chef somewhere to know what YOU like? Your taste is different
from theirs, your diet is different, your mood changes, and your schedule changes
each week. Meal Mixer gives you great suggestions each week that you can add
directly to your menu, but these are only jumping-off points to creating a plan
for exactly what you need and want for the week. Your hands are not tied,
you have complete flexibility to quickly get the exact plan that you need
You'll attain good eating habits for a longer
and healthier life. Most meal planners completely disregard the
health aspects of the meals they promote. Meal Mixer gives you meals based
on YOUR taste AND your diet. We give you feedback on what you're eating from
numerous dietary aspects, promoting better health for you and your loved ones.
Does this work? Well, the American Cancer Society estimates that fully one-third
of cancers are a result of obesity and a sedentary lifestyle!
Getting more fruits and vegetables helps considerably. You won't find these
in many vending machines, or at the drive-thru. You are far more likely to
buy them and eat them if they're on your shopping list as part of your Meal Mixer
menu.
"I just have to say that I have been looking for a site like this for as long as
I can remember! I just signed up and I am looking forward to better planning healthy
meals for my family, (I hope to save some money by not going out to eat as much)!
Thank you! "

Save Money Too
It may be surprising to you that meals comprise the third highest home expense.
The average household spends well over $100 each week on food. Much of what is purchased
is "the same old stuff" which brings on meal monotony due to lack of planning, and
does not provide the variety you need (fruits, vegetables, etc.) to support your
diet and health, or that of your loved ones. A Meal Mixer membership
will turn those groceries into tastier meals with better nutrition, and will save you time and money
in the process.
How You Get Your Plan Quickly and Easily
The whole process is quite simple and takes a couple of minutes. After you've
told us your taste in food and your dietary goals (this is a one-time setup), we'll
give you an entire plan to work from plus a variety of other new and interesting
options if our first choice doesn't appeal to you.. We do this using eight
years of online home meal planning data and state-of-the-art web technologies. All
of this makes our highly advanced online Meal Planner fast and incredibly ease to
use.
More Thyme's Meal Mixer (Week View)
Want to use your own recipes? No problem, enter them and they're saved for you...we
even calculate the nutritional information for you. Want to try something new? We
have thousands of recipes and complete meals for you to choose from. But what's
even better is that, unlike newsletter-based menus, you have the
freedom to change our recipes, meals and menus to your hearts content. Like the
meal, but not the vegetable side dish? You can switch it out! Like the recipe, but
want to make a few changes? No problem, use our recipe editor to add it to your
private recipe collection.
When you have your meals planned, Meal Mixer generates a printed shopping list
(which you can edit), a menu to keep you on track, and all the recipes you need.
Now, putting your menu plan in action is simple!
Grocery Shopping List Made For You
You'll shop in half the time and won't impulse buy if you have a grocery shopping
list, created automatically from your meal plan that has everything you need for
the week. The list is sorted by store section so you'll stay organized while
shopping, and leave the store feeling confident that you haven't forgotten anything.
What's better, you can add additional items like dog food or napkins to your list,
so you have one list and make one trip!
Meal Planning for Dieters

losing weight for good. When you plan your day-to-day activities to support your
