Meal Planning in 3 Simple Steps
1Each week we give you a list of entire meals to select
from that match your taste
and time preferences. You simply select which meals you're in the mood for, and
how many you want. You can do this for dinners, lunches and breakfasts.
2 If necessary, you can tweak your plan by adding/deleting
items, recipes, and snacks; changing serving sizes (for guests or missing family
members, etc.). You can also build meals and menus from scratch (which are archived
for re-use).
3Print your plan. We create a printable plan including
a shopping list (you can add/delete items), all of the plan recipes, and the menu
for you to follow. The menu also shows
the overall servings for your family needs.
