do you like to meal plan?

 Then you should Plan to Eat!
farm2 015

If you are anything like me, you enjoy bringing to the table a delicious meal for your family. Sometimes it’s taken pain, sweat, and maybe a few pulling of the hairs to get there.
I myself have always enjoyed meal planning. I love pulling out recipes and figuring out what we'll be eating for the next two weeks. A end up with a menu full of yummy foods. Many family favorites with a few new recipes thrown in to try.

Though I enjoy the planning part, the process was painstaking. Often taking me several hours to get  my menu & a grocery list together. Leaving me little time left to spare. Although the process took time I still enjoyed the outcome of having a game plan for my family. No matter how hard the work it took to get there. ;0)  I kept pursuing! The final product of bringing that hot meal to the table, brought much joy to my heart time and time again.
What if I told you about a meal planning program, that cost very little and saved me time and money. Would you want to hear about it? {I thought you’d be curious!} Winking smile 
My Mom is an incredible woman! Period. She’s always finding ways to make life run smoother and less stressful. {With 9 children still at home it’s very much needed!} I was beyond thrilled when my Mom introduced me to Plan to Eat! {I’ve tried several different menu planning programs and websites. I never found one that worked for me.
I’m now happy to say…I’VE FINALLY FOUND ONE! 

Let me introduce to you:  

Plan-To-Eat

I’ve been using this WONDERFUL meal planning website for almost 3 months now!
I couldn’t help but share it with you!
 

Here are just a few things I enjoy about Plan to Eat:


All my Recipes are now in One Place
I now am storing all my recipes in my Plan to Eat Recipe Book! I can easily access, print and share my recipes from any computer that has internet access. 


Adding Recipes: Is Easy!
I don’t know about you, but I’m always stumbling across recipes online that I can’t wait to try. Up until now, I’ve not found any system or program that collects or catalogs these recipes.
I not only add my own recipes by typing them in but, I’m able to import recipes from over 100+ websites! {my most favorite part!}
I can also sort the recipes into their proper categories and add my own pictures!

Recipes Previews with Print

No more searching in vain for a recipe link that I saw somewhere and then misplaced; I can immediately just add it to my recipe box on Plan to Eat. Then I can easily incorporate my recipes into my menu plans — all with just a few clicks! 

Search Import Recipes from 100+ Websites

Change Serving Sizes
  I love that you can easily adjust serving sizes for each recipe. It will automatically update the amounts of each ingredient on my Shopping List.
{How amazing is that?!} ;0)

Menu Planning Made Easy!
Recipes Share Import Search Plan

I can quickly plan a menu with just a drag of my mouse. Dragging recipes over into my menu very easily. {I can switch them around easily too.} Once I have my menu planned, my grocery list is automatically created for me!
{Talk about headache free!}  

grocerylist

With a few more clicks of the mouse, I am able to go through and easily delete the items on my grocery list that I already have on hand and didn’t need to buy.
{Which saves me money!} 


Customizable Grocery Categories
I can easily rename, delete and or reorder my grocery categories to set up my shopping list exactly the way I like it! There is also enough room to add things like diapers, soap etc… 

Monthly Meal Recipe Planner

In addition, since I've built up my recipe collection, I am now able to see at-a-glance if I’ve incorporated a recipe into my menu, and how often I’ve used it.
{This keeps me from repeating meals too often.}


Divide List Up By Store
Another really helpful feature is that I can easily divide my grocery list up by store. Plus, I can easily keep a pantry inventory. {Easy way to keep track!} 


Save & Load My Meal Plans
I can save my meal plans to use later! I then can load it to future dates to save me time by allowing me to rotate through my menus. {Very nice!}


Access On the Go
{For those of you with internet access on the go!}
I’ve not been able to try this.  {Hopefully someday this will be an option for me.}
Simplify your grocery shopping with mobile access! Access your shopping list from your smartphone and check off items as you go! {No more pen and paper needed!} 


Easy Sharing!
My most favorite features is: The easy way I’m able to share my recipes! With a click of my mouse I can share my recipes on Facebook, E-mail or my blog. I can also print them easily!
There are many more features I could tell you about, but I think you should try Plan to Eat, out for yourself! ;0) Plan to Eat is truly a wonderful tool that I think many, homemakers would find tremendously helpful and beneficial to them. In fact, I liked it so much,  I completely switched my entire menu-planning system over to Plan to Eat. I’m exclusively using Plan to Eat, because I believe it has already enhanced my kitchen, by revolutionizing my meal-planning process & organization. It also has given me back more of that precious time, I treasure so very much. Smile

  4. I found the link for "Plan to Eat" last night and thought it looked so good and easy to use!! I was going to join the 'one month free' but they were offering a year for $19.50 or maybe it was $19.90. Well, it came out cheaper than a free month + $4.95 a month...so cheap it comes out to about $1.60 a month!!
