(Also, getting some fabulous ideas along the way!) <br />I'm not sure if this was a question above already but I was wondering with your meal planning, are there any left-overs after meal-time or are they portioned according to your family? Some things I've read in the past have plans for maybe 5 or 6 days with a built in day for leftovers so I just wanted to ask. :)<br />Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14063969359317214773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-70666369277500133672013-03-14T14:39:23.564-05:002013-03-14T14:39:23.564-05:00Jen, I love your post on meal planning.

Thanks so much for recommending The Six O'Clock Scramble meal planning service. I'd be delighted to provide you with a free trial if you want to see how it compares.

So 3 nights of the week my husband and kids get home at 5:30 and I have to leave at 6:30. After usually having been awake for the 24 hours prior to going to bed, the last thing I want to do is wake up early to try to figure out meals. I am super excited about the idea of premaking everything and having the lists all made out for me!!!!Cassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15583943444085737216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-49613177083693947712013-03-02T06:42:43.769-06:002013-03-02T06:42:43.769-06:00I have been organizing my meal planning too!

Because I'm an organization nerd, I used excel to write down all of my dinner recipes and included helpful notes like number of servings and where the recipe is located. I also wrote down all of the ingredients. This has already helped to have everything in one place. My plan is to create weekly menus of recipes that fit together so we don't waste as much food.

They were often super unhealthy, and I say that not being a health nut at all! Some of them also weren't "dinner" at all. We choose the veggie plan since my husband is allergic to poultry, and one of the meals literally was a fruit salad (with no greens, just fruit).Tiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01470163614190777624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-88397349399412290122013-02-27T15:24:11.428-06:002013-02-27T15:24:11.428-06:00That's a good idea :) I am sure once my boys ...That's a good idea :) I am sure once my boys get older I will be in the same boat, and wondering how to increase recipes to keep them fed! lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-48431120364351961592013-02-27T13:30:09.895-06:002013-02-27T13:30:09.895-06:00i was JUST staring at an empty spot on my kitchen ...i was JUST staring at an empty spot on my kitchen wall last night, imagining a blackboard/menu planner!

It looks AWESOME. I can't wait to give it a try. I love that you can import your own recipes and do not have to rely solely on what the service gives you. They also are more reasonably priced that some of the other services and even offer a 30 day trial. Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!arikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12663110805655879871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-34765626725090614192013-02-26T21:00:08.100-06:002013-02-26T21:00:08.100-06:00I've been thinking about signing up for a meal...I've been thinking about signing up for a meal planning service but am wondering a couple of things.

It's a virtual grocery list that you can share with others, so my bf and I can both add items to it from our separate phones and cross them off once purchased. That way, if one of us makes a grocery run without the other, we know just what to get. Plus it automatically sorts items by section in the store. Seriously awesome. :)Krista S.http://lingonberryjam.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-72713433067071452012013-02-26T17:51:34.698-06:002013-02-26T17:51:34.698-06:00Thanks and thanks!Thanks and thanks!Diane @ Vintage Zesthttp://vintagezest.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-66101722159930617462013-02-26T16:14:06.597-06:002013-02-26T16:14:06.597-06:00just signed up for emeals! thank you! if anyone w...just signed up for emeals! thank you! if anyone wants to sign up i found a coupon code for 20% off: skinny :)heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-39636658874218838252013-02-26T13:52:15.590-06:002013-02-26T13:52:15.590-06:00Hi Jean!
