I am so glad I found this! I can so relate to your menu-planning challenge, and without sounding like an infomercial, I wanted to tell you about their <a href="http://www.dvo.com/recipeprogram.html" rel="nofollow"> recipe program</a> that does this for me and it has simplified my life a ton. (I’ve included the link in case you are interested.) Finally, thanks so much for a great site—I love your information and how reader-friendly and inspiring your site is!

Your menus are also so inspiring and drool-worthy... your apples are very lucky to have you! :) We too have been cutting back on our weekly grocery bill - no easy task, is it? We managed to skim off about $100 each week just by doing a bit more planning. I plan out our meals a month in advance and post the menu on the fridge. :) I've been doing this for about 9 months now and it's working out really, really well. Takes a little time to plan, but save loads of time when I have to create our grocery list. What a great challenge!

It can save money, food and make things very "interesting" ! I really want to look at what I have now. If it is just from the cabinets, the kids will be eating brown sugar with old yeast packets and green tea - but the freezer - wow - there are things PACKED in there that aren't even labeled! Keep us posted - can't wait to hear more! Wow what a fabulous idea, and a hard but very well worth it challenge. It can save money, food and make things very “interesting” !
