MealPlanning

Meal Planning with E-Mealz plus 3 Months of E-Mealz Giveaway!

I’ve been telling you for the last couple of years now how important meal planning is. It’s really the best way to create a budget and save money when it comes to cooking. When I was first getting started, I don’t always have the time to plan out and fix a healthy, balanced meal each night of the week. After searching for and trying several different meal planning ideas, I finally came across E-mealz. I used E-mealz faithfully for about 6 months. It saved me so much time and money in planning out each week’s meals, and helped reduce the stress of meal planning. Plus, it got me back in the kitchen. And our family is back together at the dinner table, instead of spending lots of money eating out all the time!

E-mealz has so many different meal plans to choose from. We subscribed to the low fat specialty meal plan. At only $1.25 week, my meals and grocery shopping were planned for me. I use E-mealz as a starting guide, then add my own twist to many of their already delicious recipes. continued
