Plan to Eat Giveaway

January 1, 2010 | Filed Under Menu Planning | 376 Comments 

This giveaway is now closed.  Winner is #204 Charity and #214 Ezzy!

Welcome to 2010!  It’s a brand new year and I know many of you are deciding that this is your year to get organized.  I have always said one of the best places to start in this quest is with menu planning.  Planning for your week in advance, saving time in the kitchen, eating healthier, saving money on groceries and basically eliminating this stress from your life are all excellent reasons to menu plan.  I feel such a sense of accomplishment from knowing what I’m going to eat for the week and my entire family benefits.  Menu planning is totally flexible and with practice and/or with a little help it can be such an amazing tool to implement into your organizational plan.

There are many menu planning resources out there for you to utilize.  Many of them do all the work for you and are a great service for those who feel they don’t have the time to menu plan or who just want someone else to take all the guess work out it.

However, like me, many of you enjoy perusing recipes each week and selecting your own recipes to include in your menu plan.  I know for myself I’m very particular about the recipes I chose and have a specific recipe criteria in place to help me achieve my goal of finding easy, quick and healthy recipes to include in my plan.  So when I heard about the service Plan to Eat I was very excited because it is a menu planning service that gives you the freedom of selecting your own recipes and then stores and organizes them permanently for you all in one place.

Plan to Eat allows you to import recipes from popular recipe websites or easily input them by hand.  Then all you need to do is drag and drop them into your menu planning calendar, print off your calendar if you chose AND as well print off a complete shopping list based on your chosen recipes.  It’s absolutely brilliant and organized!

Calendar:

Shopping List:

What makes Plan to Eat particularly brilliant though hands down is how easy the site is to use.  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.  Things designed to make our lives less complicated tick me off when they are too complicated for us simple minds to figure out in the first place.  I abhor complicated with a passion.  So, considering I’m a pretty tough critic, I was very surprised when I checked out Plan to Eat and discovered the simplicity with how easy it is to use.

I just love the recipe import feature.  Many other resources similar to this one require you to manually add your recipes to the site.  Um no thanks, that would take me forever.  As you know I get the majority of my recipes from sites such as Taste of Home, Tasty Kitchen and Kraft Canada.  I’ve used the import feature with all three of these sites and all I have to do is add the recipe url, hit import recipe and voila my recipe is there, complete with ingredient list and instructions.  You can even upload a photo if you’d like.  It also keeps track of my favorite websites so I can go straight there from within Plan to Eat.  Stuck for ideas? Plan to Eat has a “search google” toolbar that lists your results right there with a handy import recipe button beside each one.  Just so awesome!!

I also love that you can add tags with each of your recipes to make finding them again a breeze.  I can create any tags I like and am not limited by a select few.

I also love love love the shopping list feature.  It automatically adds all the items from your selected recipes and then easily allows you to select/deselect items you don’t need.  You can also add in additional items as necessary.  Further making my life easier, when I print out the list I’m given a handy reference key that shows me which ingredients go to which recipe in case I need to make substitutions at the grocery store.

Plan to Eat is available for $4.95 a month or if you pay for a year at a time it is $39.00/yr which works out to only $3.25 a month.  You don’t have to just take my word for the awesomeness of this site either because you can try Plan to Eat absolutely free for 30 days to see if you like it.

Today Plan to Eat has kindly offered to giveaway TWO one year gift subscriptions to two lucky readers.  I’d really like to giveaway these two gift subscriptions to someone who thinks this service would benefit them in their menu planning endeavors.  Take a look around and if you think this is a service that would work for you leave a comment on this post letting me know.

I’ll close the giveaway next Wednesday, January 6th at 9:00 pm PST and the winner will be chosen at random from the comments left.

Happy New Year everyone!!

      kelly on January 1st, 2010 2:32 pm

      I love the idea of being able to import recipes from different sources. This could really help my menu planning efforts!

      This would really make it easy for me to plan meals for my picky 4 year old and not so picky 7 year old ;)
      Love the graphics too.


    6
      Kindra on January 1st, 2010 2:43 pm

      Wow! This would really help! I hate when I have my list of ingredients and one isn’t there. I never know which recipe needs the substitution!


    7
      Christy on January 1st, 2010 2:45 pm

      WOW! I am seriously impressed. I love my menu planning, and I think this would make it something I look forward to even more, as it definitely looks like it would cut down in the prep time.

      GREAT giveaway!!

      Anne B. on January 1st, 2010 2:46 pm

      Wow…amazing site…like the tie-in to amazon.com


    9
      Deanna on January 1st, 2010 2:50 pm

      I would seriously use this! I am currently using Recipezaar but I don’t care for the menu planner function there. I love the import feature this new plan offers.


    10
      Stacey on January 1st, 2010 2:50 pm

      I love this. One of my goals this year is to plan our meals…this site would be a wonderful too especially with having a new baby.


    11
      Coffeymuse on January 1st, 2010 2:52 pm

      This is awesome! I keep my recipes in Delicious but also have a bookcase of cookbooks and binders of printed recipes. This would make it so easy to find that days recipe! Loving this!


    12
      Heather on January 1st, 2010 2:56 pm

      I am starting menu planning and I think this would be a great help to me!


    13
      Megan on January 1st, 2010 2:58 pm

      Wow, this looks so fun and would save me lots of time!!


    14
      Cortney on January 1st, 2010 3:09 pm

      Looks like just what I need to get on board. I’ve been wanting to meal plan for so long, but just can’t get in gear.


    15
      Bonnie on January 1st, 2010 3:10 pm

      This would definitely help me out! I am an avid meal planner but with a brand new daughter, I’m looking for ways to make it easier and less time-consuming!


    16
      Karen on January 1st, 2010 3:17 pm

      This looks like a great site. I used to be so good at menu planning, but after adopting a new baby, homeschooling my older two boys and taking care of the house, I got out of the habit…maybe this will help me get it together!


    17
      Kari on January 1st, 2010 3:17 pm

      Wow! That would give me no excuses for menu planning, right? :-) Thanks!!1


    18
      Carmen on January 1st, 2010 3:18 pm

      I’m trying to get organized with cooking for the new year, but I haven’t figured out a menu planning system that works yet for me. I’ve looked at this website, and it looks like it’d be perfect! Especially since I want something computer-based that both my husband and I can use.


    19
      Marjorie on January 1st, 2010 3:20 pm

      This service would be a godsend. Right now I save recipes on several different websites. Being able to import my favorites to one location would be awesome. Also, I’ve tried menu planning before, but just can’t seem to get it to work for me. I just might be more successful with Plan to Eat.


    20
      Sara on January 1st, 2010 3:32 pm

      I could use any help with meal planning, thanks for the chance to win!


    21
      Becky on January 1st, 2010 3:36 pm

      I think I could use this, especially since my sister in law gave us recipe books from Taste of Home for Christmas.


    22
      Sophie on January 1st, 2010 3:41 pm

      This looks awesome! Im fallen off the menu planning wagon lately and I need back on! This would be very helpful for my family!


    23
      Barbie on January 1st, 2010 3:44 pm

      I love smart, creative people who come up with this stuff. I would definitely use this service. I might even if I don’t win.


    24
      Joanna on January 1st, 2010 3:46 pm

      Wow….this is awesome looking. I think I want it even if i don’t win!!! i was just looking for something similar for my ipod the other day and wasn’t finding anything I really wanted.


    25
      Jenni on January 1st, 2010 3:49 pm

      Wow! Being able to import your faves from other sites would be a great help! Thanks for making the offer! Happy New Year!


    26
      Sarah martina on January 1st, 2010 3:50 pm

      This looks awesome! My hubby & I work FT, and I’m in law school at night, so needless to say, I try to cram most of my cooking in on the weekends. I want to control what my 2 kids eat, so I love the idea that I can choose my own recipes for this program. The shopping list feature is REALLY enticing, too! Thanks for sharing this. :-) What a treat it would be!


    27
      Tina Folsom on January 1st, 2010 3:52 pm

      This site looks so awesome. I have been trying to plan my menus ahead for the past month or so.. this would save me so much time and is so much more efficient. Love it!


    28
      joanne buckles on January 1st, 2010 3:54 pm

      hi, this is fantastic info! have been browsing for menu planning info/program/software all evening! our family is made up of a daddy with coeliac disease so he has to eat gluten free food, a mummy who is very particular what she eats, a daughter 4yrs who survives on bread, cheese and apples and a son who is 18 months old! can you imagine the fun/nightmare i have menu planning? will definately look at plan to eat, could be money well spent!


    29
      Gudrun on January 1st, 2010 3:55 pm

      Yes,this would be incredibly useful. I am almost always finding my recipes online, and organizing them with this tool would be so handy!


    30
      Judi on January 1st, 2010 3:58 pm

      WOW! What an amazing site! This would totally benefit our family. We meal plan for 10 every week, and this would save us lots of time. I really like that I can put our own recipes in and import our recipes from the web that we enjoy!


    31
      Anita on January 1st, 2010 4:01 pm

      “Plan to eat” looks like the sites that should be put in the top of my favourites!
      I would love to win this so I wouldn’t have to wake up in the middle of the night and do my menu planning! Happy New Year to all!


    32
      Heather on January 1st, 2010 4:02 pm

      Oh my goodness. I have been trying to do this plan/organize/shop thing in excel for a while now, but Plan to Eat would be SO.MUCH.NICER!!


    33
      Kristi on January 1st, 2010 4:03 pm

      I would love to try out this website. It looks great. It looks like something that would help me especially with the next few months which are going to be very busy at work.


    34
      Christina on January 1st, 2010 4:05 pm

      This sounds awsome! And the 6th is my birthday, hint hint!! LOL. My family would love a menu plan that is made up of the food they will actually eat, no matter how good Salmon with dill sounds to me- they wont touch it!


    35
      Erica on January 1st, 2010 4:10 pm

      I would love something like this. I like the idea of having the shopping list done for me. I am usually missing that one key ingredient I forgot to put on the list!


    36
      Jonnie H on January 1st, 2010 4:11 pm

      I could use this. I’m new to menu planning and am finding it hard to get organized. I think this would be a big help.


    37
      Crista on January 1st, 2010 4:15 pm

      This looks really, really neat. I just signed up for the free trial because the Lord knows I need all the help I can get. My biggest problem with meal planning has been trying to find the time to do it. Between planning out the meals, then writing out a list of what I need for them, then cross-checking my list with what is in the pantry already, then making out a shopping list, then shopping… by the time the cooking part, which is the fun part to me, comes around, I’m just exhausted.


    38
      Jessica on January 1st, 2010 4:16 pm

      Please Help me with menu planning! 3 boys and a husband keeps me on my toes with making something everyone likes and enough for leftovers.


    39
      Mindy on January 1st, 2010 4:20 pm

      Wow – this looks like such a fantastic website! What a life saver this would be to win.


    40
      Megan on January 1st, 2010 4:25 pm

      Looks like a great idea ~ will definitely try it out, would love to win a full year!!


    41
      Dawnette Thomas on January 1st, 2010 4:27 pm

      I currently use a paper version for my planning. I find that when I shop and eat according to my menu, not only do I eat healthier but we spend less money. However, I don’t do this each month because I simply run out of time. This would make like easier and the budget better.


    42
      Carmen on January 1st, 2010 4:33 pm

      Oh! I would love to win this! I struggle with menu planning so much.


    43
      Tamara on January 1st, 2010 4:37 pm

      This would be incredible to use and make my attempts at meal planning go smoother!


    44
      Abby on January 1st, 2010 4:40 pm

      What an awesome website. Menu planning has been on my to do list for awhile now, we sure could use it!


    45
      Adrianne on January 1st, 2010 4:41 pm

      I have been looking for something exactly like this the last few months. I even asked my husband for a better way to store recipes and make meal plans for Christmas.


    46
      Aimee on January 1st, 2010 4:44 pm

      I have been menu planning for about a year, but need to lose weight and get healthier. Menu Planning is about to take on a whole new importance in our lives and I could really use the help! Thanks for a great giveaway!


    47
      Annemarie on January 1st, 2010 4:50 pm

      I struggle with menu planning as I am just getting into it. This looks like it would help tremendously to keep me on track.


    48
      Theresa on January 1st, 2010 4:55 pm

      I could so USE this! I have some serious weight to lose and I vow that this is the year for me to do something for MYSELF!!! This could really help my goals and efforts! Thank you~


    49
      AnneS on January 1st, 2010 4:58 pm

      Thanks for the chance to win! I could really use the help in getting organized with all the recipes and meal planning for my family. It would be wonderful!


    50
      Shawnee H in OR on January 1st, 2010 5:07 pm

      Terrific! I’d love to try a new recipe/menu program. Thanks so much!!


    51
      Heather on January 1st, 2010 5:08 pm

      I love that the site builds your shopping list!


    52
      Sarah N on January 1st, 2010 5:10 pm

      This sounds like it would be a great help!


    53
      Jodi on January 1st, 2010 5:11 pm

      This website looks amazing! I’ve noticed you primarily use recipes from websites and wondered how you organized them and could remember all of them to use again in the future. I would love to try this out.


    54
      Christi on January 1st, 2010 5:17 pm

      I love all of the options, including that I can share my recipes and others can share with me! I would love to try this out! I may try the free version soon.


    55
      Tami on January 1st, 2010 5:19 pm

      I keep saying I want to plan meals to keep us from eating out so much. This would be a great tool.


    56
      April on January 1st, 2010 5:26 pm

      This is exactly what I need to use!!!


    57
      Laurie on January 1st, 2010 5:32 pm

      I would so love to have a chance to try out this website to plan meals. I really need to become more organized.

      Thanks!


    58
      Kristen M. Foster on January 1st, 2010 5:34 pm

      WOW!!!!!! This would make life so much easier. This is one of my goals for the New Year is to get my meal planning undercontrol and also to be more efficient with couponing and this will help me with both.


    59
      Christina on January 1st, 2010 5:42 pm

      I could REALLY use this!!! I am due in March with our second child, and I can use all the help I can get with making sure I have my meals planned out.


    60
      Rachel on January 1st, 2010 5:49 pm

      Oh man! This is PERFECTLY what I need!

      I’m definitely going to do the 30 day trial and see how it works, but if it’s as easy as you say, I’m pumped.

      Fingers are crossed to win the year!


    61
      Anne on January 1st, 2010 5:50 pm

      I would like to give this a try.


    62
      Marcie on January 1st, 2010 5:53 pm

      This would be wonderful for me! I’m really trying to get into a habit of meal planning but I’m having trouble getting a system in place… Thanks for offering this!


    63
      Katherin on January 1st, 2010 6:17 pm

      This is wonderful! I am all about saving time!


    64
      Michael on January 1st, 2010 6:24 pm

      This would be amazing. Working 16-18 hour days it’s really hard to have the motivation to cook a real meal at the end of the day. Having a meal schedule and simplified shopping list would make it worlds easier to make dinner each night.


    65
      Elissa on January 1st, 2010 6:24 pm

      I am fairly new to being a devoted meal planner and this site looks amazing!! Thanks for sharing!


    66
      Sandi Shealy on January 1st, 2010 6:24 pm

      Over the last year, I have cut my grocery bill in half and trying to go even lower this year! I plan my menu/groceries/coupons every week and would be very curious to see how this works. I play “The Grocery Game” so I am not against paying for a service, if I feel it is worth it! =)


    67
      Laur on January 1st, 2010 6:32 pm

      Wow, what a great site! Love it. Just started meal planning this year and it’s working out so so well!


    68
      Michelle on January 1st, 2010 6:39 pm

      Wonderful! I would love it – I have never found a great system for organizing my recipes.


    69
      Lynne on January 1st, 2010 6:39 pm

      What a great idea. Can’t make menu planning any easier!


    70
      Amy @ Finer Things on January 1st, 2010 6:41 pm

      Oh,my. How convenient! Would love to try this service.


    71
      Laura A on January 1st, 2010 6:42 pm

      Wow, this sounds amazing! What a great concept-


    72
      Andi on January 1st, 2010 6:48 pm

      I have been a menu planner for a long time and, in fact, am quite lost without one! This program looks like a great way to organise each week and keep track of past menus. I love the import recipe feature and the printable shopping list – what a great idea!


    73
      Angela Whitaker on January 1st, 2010 6:55 pm

      Of course I can use this!! I’m getting ready for our baby and can use all the organizational help I can get!


    74
      Tammy Eden on January 1st, 2010 6:56 pm

      Who would have thought meal planning could be this much fun?!
      I signed up for the free 30-day trial and I’m having a blast finding & importing recipes.
      I especially love it since we just got a laptop for Christmas and I can just set it in the kitchen while I’m cooking…no need to print recipes.


    75
      Delyn Duggins on January 1st, 2010 7:10 pm

      Wow! What a great way to started on menu planning!


    76
      Lib on January 1st, 2010 7:16 pm

      Seeing that my husband and I are following a strict budget program, I welcome anything that is budget affordable and helps me do one less thing as we own a business and i work as a substitute for a school district and do not have a set schedule.


    77
      Renee on January 1st, 2010 7:26 pm

      WOW! Not only an awesome site, but one that does not require you to enter payment information ahead of time! AND a full month (rather than days or limited access) for a trial! This is done right and could SO help my family of 6 as we strive to manage to keep up with 4 kids at 3 schools plus activities!


    78
      ter@waaoms on January 1st, 2010 7:27 pm

      sounds like a great idea. I am good at looking at recipes but making my menu still proves difficult even though I’ve been attempting it for a couple years now.


    79
      Janet on January 1st, 2010 7:35 pm

      Totally impressive! It would be great to have all my recipes in one place, not lose my mind trying to find stuff, and actually get my meals planned out! Might save me more grey hairs. :)


    80
      Selima Garris on January 1st, 2010 7:43 pm

      Sounds like useful tool to help with menu planning.


    81
      Susan on January 1st, 2010 7:43 pm

      Meal planning is one of my goals for 2010 and Plan to Eat looks it might be just the ticket to get me started on that goal. Thanks for the review.


    82
      Kim on January 1st, 2010 7:53 pm

      This is the handiest website ever, thanks for letting us know about it. I have been looking for something exactly like it since I do the bulk of my menu planning online.


    83
      Jen on January 1st, 2010 7:53 pm

      Plan to Eat looks great! I have let my menu planning slip a bit over the past few months and have resolved to get back on track. This would be a wonderful help.


    84
      Lisa M on January 1st, 2010 7:54 pm

      This sounds wonderful for me. I want to plan menus and I need help with it. I’m glad to have your website to try and figure out how to make it happen. :) thank you.


    85
      Kim on January 1st, 2010 7:58 pm

      Oh this looks right up my alley. Count me in the giveaway.
      Thank you
      Kim

      ynaffit on January 1st, 2010 8:04 pm

      Wowee! I haven’t found anything that DOESN’T work for me! It’s helpful on so many levels!!!


    87
      Amanda on January 1st, 2010 8:04 pm

      I have been looking for something like this FOREVER! I would love to win as I know this would help me tremendously.


    88
      Nadine S on January 1st, 2010 8:20 pm

      I think this is wonderful. With three small kids, I surely could use help with getting my menus planned and organized.


    89
      Holly on January 1st, 2010 8:21 pm

      I enjoy your site. Very interested in meal planning as I am the sole cook for 7 of us. We spend $300 – $400 a week and would love to be more organized in the kitchen so I could stop finding spoiled food. Happy New Year!


    90
      Linsey Adair on January 1st, 2010 8:25 pm

      This is amazing. Just what I need!!


    91
      Amy on January 1st, 2010 8:30 pm

      I’m a homeschooling mom of 4 kiddos, and I absolutely could benefit from this idea!! I plan all of our menus/shopping lists for 5 weeks out, and keep them all in a binder…which gets splattered and stained with everything that I’m cooking. I would love, love, LOVE to use this instead! :)


    92
      loreejo on January 1st, 2010 8:34 pm

      this program would help anyone! including me!


    93

      Thanks for the giveaway!

      Ginger Sims on January 1st, 2010 8:37 pm

      I love to cook however I am in a rut on new recipes and cooking. I definately need organizing skills. I am working on getting better at that. This would be a wonderful tool for me and my family.


    95
      Heather on January 1st, 2010 9:14 pm

      We could really use this! I love cooking, but somehow I always leave the grocery store, get home and remember that I forgot something!!!


    96
      ANNETTE on January 1st, 2010 9:20 pm

      Wow – I love this site. One of my goals this year to aid in organization as well as weight loss it to menu plan. So this would be a good way to start. Plus, I love that I didn’t have to give a credit card to do the 30-day trial. The site is very easy to use too!


    97
      jude on January 1st, 2010 9:21 pm

      Looks amazing!! I would love it for the new year!


    98
      dymphna on January 1st, 2010 9:23 pm

      i have been sooooo unorganized these past few years. I always forget something when I go shopping. I have trouble deciding what to make, maybe this would help me out and make my family a little happier. Thanks for the giveaway


    99
      Amanda on January 1st, 2010 9:34 pm

      Wow! The website and service looks FABULOUS! I would love love love to win the giveaway and will be jealous of whoever does win. =)

      On of my New Year’s Resolutions for 2010 is to win giveaways and contests this year, so if you pick me, you’ll move me one step closer to meeting my resolution!

      janis on January 1st, 2010 9:34 pm

      With a 1 and 3 year old this would be a wonderful time saver as I commit to be more faithful with menu planning and trying to get a little more organized! :)

      Thanks!


    101
      Rachel Addison on January 1st, 2010 10:44 pm

      I would love a program like that. I’m tired of having to print out recipes or trying to remember which site I found that one recipe on.


    102
      Sierra on January 1st, 2010 10:48 pm

      Wow! It’s a ubiquitous capture for meal planning! What a great idea! This would be wonderfully helpful for me and my food challenge I am starting on my own blog! Having so many sites can be very confusing. :)


    103
      Alicia on January 1st, 2010 10:52 pm

      I don’t cook very often because of the time it takes to plan meals and shop but I would like to start and this seems like it would help me a ton!


    104
      Andrea on January 1st, 2010 11:23 pm

      I would love to win this! At my house, I
      put the weeks meal plan or menu on the fridge
      and everyone gets to provide their input or we
      take turns picking from the menu.


    105
      Natalie on January 1st, 2010 11:36 pm

      I have been a little slack on my menu planning of late and while going through our expenses for the last few months have noticed I’ve also been spending way to much on food and need to start planning and shopping to a budget, something I’ve never done. So this would help me for sure.


    106
      Denise on January 2nd, 2010 12:03 am

      Oooooh boy do I need this!!


    107
      Joyce on January 2nd, 2010 12:06 am

      What a fantastic idea! This would definitely help us out. I can do the menu, but I don’t like doing the shopping list, so that would be great, especially with importing recipes from different sites.


    108
      Claudia on January 2nd, 2010 12:45 am

      This looks great and very cool on the shopping list and importing the different recipes.


    109
      Jen on January 2nd, 2010 12:48 am

      Oooh looks VERY interesting! I’d love it!


    110
      Jennifer on January 2nd, 2010 1:32 am

      Wow! Just when I had given up hope on finding a convenient meal planning tool…
      It looks so great, I don’t even mind that it’s not free!
      Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing!


    111
      Jennifer Clark on January 2nd, 2010 1:39 am

      I’ve not seen anything like this before! Amazing .. and you can import recipes from other places on the internet … can you say timesaver!?! Though the thing that really caught my attention was it printing out that weeks shopping list – that sounds like a huge help!


    112
      Melissa Ritchey on January 2nd, 2010 2:42 am

      I am a menu planning newbie! I would love to have something like this to save me time but also add variety to our menus. Working full time outside of the home, menu planning always falls behind and we usually end up grabbing something on the go. I think something like this would help us with that problem. Thank You for sharing this site.


    113
      Kal on January 2nd, 2010 2:47 am

      I do a weekly menu plan but still spend a lot of time looking for recipes and such to do so. The versatility of this program along with shopping list sounds so much better than any other program I’ve come across; I would LOVE to use it!


    114
      Brittney R on January 2nd, 2010 3:56 am

      I’ve been trying for ages to get a good menu plan together, and I think this website may just be the ticket! Thanks for sharing!


    115
      Kathryn Crane on January 2nd, 2010 4:13 am

      This really makes it easy and leaves NO excuses. I would love to win this and save myself some money!


    116
      Ky Katsafanas on January 2nd, 2010 4:29 am

      I’m always looking for better ways to get organized and this looks like a great way to organize menus.


    117
      Mary Harding on January 2nd, 2010 5:03 am

      This is an amazing thought for organizing meals. I am a teacher and at the end of my day, I am spent (in a good way :D )The thought of thinking about dinner is tough. Organizing simple meals this way sounds FABULOUS. Thanks again. Another wonderful way to organize. I appreciate it.


    118
      kathleen on January 2nd, 2010 5:16 am

      i think this sounds great. i need so much help in meal planning and this site seems perfect


    119
      PeggyF(lefsegirl) on January 2nd, 2010 5:30 am

      Sign me up. This is one area I have always struggled with, and could use a little help. PLEASE, pick me!


    120
      Ginny on January 2nd, 2010 5:40 am

      Just love it when someone takes all the ideas and programs out there and simplifies them for the rest of us to use with ease and pleasure. Fab idea – would love, love, love to implement. Thanks for the opportunity.


    121
      Erin @ American Mom in England on January 2nd, 2010 5:41 am

      This sounds like exactly the kind of menu planning system I’ve been looking for. . . =)


    122
      Berit on January 2nd, 2010 5:42 am

      I so need to get on board with menu planning! I keep saying that but never quite get there. This is DEFINITELY something I could use – and looks like a great tool to help me do it!!! With DH and I working full-time, and a 4-year old at home -this is only one area that needs organizing (something I haven’t quite gotten the hang of, yet).


    123
      Tammy on January 2nd, 2010 5:59 am

      This would really come in handy. I find it very time consuming to make a menu plan!


    124
      LISA on January 2nd, 2010 6:16 am

      I would love to have this. I have so much trouble trying to plan meals. I work in the evenings and I need a way to have somethng easy for my husband to make for supper with everything planned out so he can just put everything together.


    125
      Haley D. on January 2nd, 2010 6:18 am

      This site is totally intriguing to me! I have signed up for my 30-day free trial, because meal planning is definitely in my plans for this year. Thanks for sharing this site, and the chance to win a free subscription!


    126
      Terry on January 2nd, 2010 6:41 am

      This sounds perfect for me – I need things in one place; I need easy! and I really need to plan.


    127
      Lreazer on January 2nd, 2010 6:43 am

      Am always finding great recipes- only to realize I am missing/substituting one ingred.due to my “quick skimming” over the recipe – this would be helpful! No last minute dashes to the grocery store.


    128
      Amanda on January 2nd, 2010 7:23 am

      This would be one New Year’s resolution already taken care of!


    129
      Randa on January 2nd, 2010 7:27 am

      This is fantastic! It would really be of benefit to me and my family.


    130
      Tammy L on January 2nd, 2010 7:32 am

      Wow! This is a fantastic giveaway. I’d love to win this. I have been working on my menu planning for the new year.


    131
      Kathy Hill on January 2nd, 2010 7:39 am

      What an amazing site! I would love to take my menu planning to the electronic level. It’s one of the few things I still do on paper.


    132
      april on January 2nd, 2010 7:40 am

      looks awesome!


    133
      Lisa on January 2nd, 2010 7:41 am

      Wow!  This is a great idea!! I have a hard time planning meals for the week.  This would be very helpful.


    134
      Erin on January 2nd, 2010 7:44 am

      Wow! This sounds fantastic! Thanks for the info – I’m definitely checking into this more.


    135
      Trish on January 2nd, 2010 7:48 am

      this looks like just what we need for the new year


    136
      Marilyn on January 2nd, 2010 7:53 am

      This is awesome! 1. It can be used with a Mac! 2. recipes do not need to be converted to be added. I already own to menu planners but they are too cumbersome to use!


    137
      Kathy on January 2nd, 2010 7:55 am

      Working twelve hours a day, this would be fantastic. I am always looking ways to simplify our meal times.


    138
      NIna on January 2nd, 2010 7:56 am

      OH MY GOODNESS! This is what I have been looking for. Even if I don’t win this is something I will consider. Thanks for sharing


    139
      Lissa on January 2nd, 2010 7:59 am

      I’ve been looking for something like this! I will definitely be trying it out…


    140
      Heather on January 2nd, 2010 8:02 am

      Wow!!! This looks like the perfect tool. Everything for menu planning all in one! I love it!!!

      Lindsey on January 2nd, 2010 8:06 am

    142
      nancy on January 2nd, 2010 8:08 am

      This looks really great! Now if I had the money to hire someone to shop for me, I would have it made. ;)


    143
      Margaret on January 2nd, 2010 8:20 am

      This sounds like a wonderful and easy wasy to start off 2010! I keep trying to do meal planning and have not been successful…this year I really need to watch our food budget because we want to cut back spending and reduce some debt…thanks for giving us an opportunity to win!

    146
      Kirsty on January 2nd, 2010 8:31 am

      How fab! I would love to win this.


    147
      Susan on January 2nd, 2010 8:35 am

      Wow! This looks good. I use to meal plan but fell off the wagon. I really been trying again and mybe this might work.


    148
      Pam Smith on January 2nd, 2010 8:39 am

      Pick me! Pick me! This would definitely be the “kick in the pants” I need to get started. Heck, even if I don’t win I’m going to give it a try. Thanks for the review.


    149
      Sue Barnes on January 2nd, 2010 8:42 am

      Wahoo!!! This sounds like the plan for me!!! Love it, love it, love it…. And easy to boot.
      Count me in! Thanks,


    150
      fernk on January 2nd, 2010 8:47 am

    151
      Alli on January 2nd, 2010 8:50 am

      Wow – that’s a beautiful thing… I need all the help I can get in feeding my (always hungry) three boys. I’m a newbie to meal planning so this would be a great tool for our family!


    152
      Robin on January 2nd, 2010 9:00 am

      I love the calendar view and that you can import your recipes!


    153
      Holly on January 2nd, 2010 9:02 am

      This is a fantastic site! After reading your review and looking over the site I’ve decided to do the free trial! I have high hopes that it will make my already fun menu plan Monday even more rewarding!


    154
      Sandra on January 2nd, 2010 9:08 am

      Wow! What a fantastic site! I like to plan menus, but struggle with it … with searching through my favorite food blogs and sites…with staring at the menu and translating it to a shopping list… this site has it all right there for me! LOVE IT!!!


    155
      Connie on January 2nd, 2010 9:08 am

      The free 30 day trial is a great idea. I’m going to try it out. Perhaps in the future the Plan to Eat folks could add nutritional information, too.


    156
      Ellen on January 2nd, 2010 9:13 am

      WOW! Plan To Eat looks amazing!!!
      I hope I win!
      Thank you!
      :)
      Ellen


    157
      Rosanna on January 2nd, 2010 9:13 am

      This looks wonderful! I never have totally liked all the meals a menu planning service gives you, so this would be great!


    158
      Janet on January 2nd, 2010 9:16 am

      I would love a chance to use this type of service. Having decided to no longer work until both kids are in school fulltime, I am not only looking for a way to organize our meals but to save money by making sure our groceries don’t go bad and we don’t spend where we don’t need. What a great idea.


    159
      Carol Minnick on January 2nd, 2010 9:24 am

      Starting a new year, with new goals and this new idea, What a way to go! I am all for new beginings. count me in.


    160

    161
      Hope on January 2nd, 2010 9:25 am

      This sounds like I might actually be able to conquer meal planning after all. I like to plan but it is something that seems to be very hard for me. Thanks!


    162
      Denise on January 2nd, 2010 9:28 am

      I would like to try this service.


    163
      julie benham on January 2nd, 2010 9:30 am

      I would LOVE this site. I get the majority of my recipes from websites.. once i find them, i bookmark them and then when it comes time to cook, i have to scroll through all my favorites – it’s a pain!! it would be so wonderful to have all the recipes organized in one place along with the shopping list! what a great idea:)


    164
      Michelle Moawad on January 2nd, 2010 9:35 am

      This looks awesome! I need all the help I can get…menu-planning has become such a chore and this definitely looks like it will make it fun & interesting again.


    165
      Kim Litton on January 2nd, 2010 9:46 am

      Meal planning is number 1 on my new year’s goals. This looks like a great tool!


    166
      Barb Rubel on January 2nd, 2010 9:54 am

      I LOVE the fact you can import from other sites, I always print recipes and forget to add them to my list or forget to add 1 thing to my list. This would make it easier fro when I am at work I can access if I do not have a copy with me.


    167
      Angela Fowler on January 2nd, 2010 10:04 am

      After looking at the website I’m going to try it for 30 days.


    168
      DL Harmon on January 2nd, 2010 10:04 am

      OOOOHHHH! I want! :) I have on my to do list to get my recipes organized. Maybe this is the way to do it!


    169
      Jennifer F on January 2nd, 2010 10:17 am

      I was just talking with dh the other day about how I need to get our favorite recipes organized and plan better this year!


    170
      Tami on January 2nd, 2010 10:20 am

      Pick me! I would absolutely love to have this tool!!


    171
      Tracy Stone on January 2nd, 2010 10:34 am

      Great idea, and it would so help me! I’m a little challenged in that area…


    172
      Debbi Thayn on January 2nd, 2010 10:36 am

      I would love to win! If not I’ll try it free for thirty days.


    173
      Beth G. on January 2nd, 2010 10:40 am

      Love this! This will take the guess work out of menu planning. I can imagine after a few months what an easy peasy time I will have with the question “What’s for dinner Mom?” Pick me please!!!


    174
      stephanie on January 2nd, 2010 10:43 am

      Now this I would love!


    175
      Katherine on January 2nd, 2010 10:46 am

      I am VERY interested in this! One of my new year’s resolutions was to be better about menu planning/frugality so this would work perfectly for me!!


    176
      Emma on January 2nd, 2010 10:50 am

      This looks like a wonderful resource while I’m busy in our event planning season. Something to make this just that much easier…


    177
      Joe on January 2nd, 2010 10:57 am

      What an excellent site! I would love to win so I can make my menu planning so much easier!


    178
      Ruth Hill on January 2nd, 2010 11:01 am

      Yes, I could definitely use this! It would make my life easier. We are a family of 5–3 households put together. I love to plan recipes!


    179
      Starr Crocker on January 2nd, 2010 11:01 am

      I am struggling to get my
      “menu planning” organized. This sight looks great!


    180
      Tiffany on January 2nd, 2010 11:01 am

      I love the idea of this website. I always think planning meals takes too much time/effort, but then I’m left wondering what to cook or making the same things over and over.
      And the list maker — brilliant!


    181
      Jenna on January 2nd, 2010 11:10 am

      This would be great for my family!! I still struggle with menu planning, so a new gadget could really get me going! :D


    182
      Janell on January 2nd, 2010 11:15 am

      This looks like a great tool for my family in the upcoming year!


    183
      Taya @ Simply Frugal on January 2nd, 2010 11:35 am

      Oh my! This would be a wonderful too to have! I’m liking the looks of the grocery list generator! The whole thing is fabulous I think!


    184
      Johnlyn on January 2nd, 2010 11:46 am

      I am always on the lookout for something that will make my life easier!

      Thanks!


    185
      Adreann on January 2nd, 2010 11:48 am

      this would be a great giveaway for me because i am just starting out this year with planning all of my meals because we are now on a limited budget and it would make things so much easier for me. I am also trying to get my family back on a healthier eating track and this would help me organize what i am making to see what we are eating. I loved this site after i looked at it.


    186
      Lani Castro on January 2nd, 2010 11:50 am

      I’d love to try this. One of my new years resolutions is to do better as far as meal planning. This would be a huge help!!


    187
      Mary on January 2nd, 2010 11:56 am

      Wow! That’s awesome.
      I would love to win that!


    188
      MomToEli on January 2nd, 2010 11:57 am

      What a great tool you have developed! 2010 is my year to get some of my routine tasks steamlined and organized. Between being a wife, home maker, homeschooling mom, Scout leader, bible study teacher, produce farmer (pant, pant, pant) I am finding I really need to get a grip on my time! All on a very limited budget. Winning this would be great!


    189
      Sharon on January 2nd, 2010 12:02 pm

      I’m on such a bad/unorganized path right now when it comes to meal planning. Grocery shopping for just a few meals at a time,etc… This sounds like a great program with the grocery list, able to import recipes…This could be just what I need!! Thanks for getting the word out about this plan!


    190
      Jen Sheely on January 2nd, 2010 12:03 pm

      This is too cool. My husband and I are trying to meal plan to keep us from going out to eat so much. This would make life and choices so much easier! Here’s to 2010!


    191
      Joyce Gearhart on January 2nd, 2010 12:13 pm

      This is absolute genius! A hard, tedious job made doable, as you explained. Our household would benefit beyond words to be able to use this tool.


    192
      Jenn Cherry on January 2nd, 2010 12:21 pm

      This looks really interesting – I’ve always just done menu planning on my own…what a great thing to have everything in one place!


    193
      Susan Lenes on January 2nd, 2010 12:25 pm

      How awesome would it be to have meals planned ahead!!


    194
      Teri Anderson on January 2nd, 2010 12:30 pm

      Wow, the import feature is really. I would love to win!


    195
      Jocelyne Baxter on January 2nd, 2010 12:33 pm

      This looks to be exactly the tool I’ve been looking forward to create my menu plans for the new year. My previous attempts have been awkward or too complicated and I haven’t followed through for long. With my husband starting a New Year’s diet and my goal of healthy eating for the whole family — now is the time.


    196
      Mamie on January 2nd, 2010 12:47 pm

      Plan to Eat looks like a great site, and it would definitely be useful for our family!


    197
      Amy T. on January 2nd, 2010 1:15 pm

      This would seriously be a lifesaver! With two little ones, homeschooling – gracious it would be wonderful!!! Thanks for the giveaway!


    198
      Kami on January 2nd, 2010 1:24 pm

      I would love to give this website a try. and see if I can Plan to eat.


    199
      Kerri on January 2nd, 2010 1:35 pm

      I’ve been working hard to keep to a menu plan and I think this would streamline things and save time! Would love to win this!!

      Amanda S. on January 2nd, 2010 1:39 pm

      Wow – I would LOVE this! I’ve been menu planning for over a year now and I love it. This would make it even better. WIth 3 kids 5 and under, anything that make things easier is a must!! Thanks!!


    202
      The Halton Mom on January 2nd, 2010 1:55 pm

      This would really help me get organized. Thanks so much for this great giveaway :)


    203
      Kathryn on January 2nd, 2010 2:02 pm

      I just signed up for the 30 day trial, it looks like something we would really enjoy


    204
      Charity on January 2nd, 2010 2:04 pm

      I can already tell you this is something I could definitely use! A lot of my stress comes from trying to figure out what to make for dinner and grocery shopping because I don’t have a plan in place. Oh, boy, would this help!


    205
      RosaB on January 2nd, 2010 2:22 pm

      Oh, wow!!! That’s amazing! I would LOVE to have this!!!


    206
      Sonya on January 2nd, 2010 2:26 pm

      I am so horrible at meal planning, something that I have on my goals to get better at during 2010. this site would help me out SO MUCH!!


    207
      Kari on January 2nd, 2010 2:35 pm

      This may be just the thing to get me back into meal planning again! Which will be important this year since hubby has to loose 20+ pounds!


    208
      Hope on January 2nd, 2010 2:53 pm

      That looks SO awesome! If I don’t win, I may have to try it out for a month to see how I like it!!!


    209
      Katie on January 2nd, 2010 2:56 pm

      I already do a little menu planning, but my goal is to do it more. This looks like it would help.


    210
      Lisa on January 2nd, 2010 3:05 pm

      This is such a great idea and it looks like it would be really easy (and even fun) to use. I love how it stores your own recipes and also gives you a shopping list. This service would certainly help me tackle two of my resolutions for the new year – get organized and finally start to menu plan! Thanks for the opportunity to enter!


    211
      Heather D on January 2nd, 2010 3:30 pm

      YES!!! PICK ME PICK ME!!!! I am ready for Organizing this year, got my Week by Week Organization book, signed back up for Weight Watchers and now this would be soooo beneficial. especially as we start swtiching over to Organic food, this could save lots of money for us! ( and I need that money saved so i can use it to visit my awesome Godson who lives toooooo far away!


    212
      Cara on January 2nd, 2010 3:48 pm

      OMG! This looks perfect! Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Have so many recipes bookmarked all over cyber space and have a hard time pulling them all together. This sounds like the perfect way to pull everything from the far reaches of cyberspace together! Yay! Thanks for finding this!


    213
      Darcy on January 2nd, 2010 3:50 pm

      That’s fantastic! I’m a new WAHM and have a goal of cooking more from scratch, so this would be a great help!!


    214
      Ezzy on January 2nd, 2010 4:10 pm

      It sounds like a great idea. I have been menu planning but I usually forget about the shopping list.


    215
      Sandra on January 2nd, 2010 4:14 pm

      What a fantastic resource. With a deployed husband, full time school schedule for me and 3 of my 4 kids, this is something I should have been doing ages ago!


    216
      Kristi on January 2nd, 2010 4:42 pm

      WOW this looks perfect! And affordable to boot-I’m going to have to sign up for this one, even if I don’t win!


    217
      Traci Murphy Designs on January 2nd, 2010 4:45 pm

      Ooooh, it’s making me all tingly, LOL! That looks amazing – and I’m with #216, I’ll have to subscribe anyway!


    218
      Tina Russell on January 2nd, 2010 5:12 pm

      What a wonderful giveaway!!! I am new to menu planning and have already seen some $$ savings. A tool like this would be very helpful with organizing (as I currently do not have a good system)


    219
      Gina on January 2nd, 2010 7:04 pm

      This sounds so helpful. As I usually recycle my meal planning weeks over the course of the year, I have a system set up in my household binder. But this would be so much easier!


    220
      Erin on January 2nd, 2010 7:08 pm

      wow! this is awesome! i hate to menu plan just because i hate coming up with the grocery list, but this makes it so simple–love it!


    221
      Jenny Haydon on January 2nd, 2010 7:44 pm

      This looks so awesome! OhOhOh pick me pleeeease!
      I spend so much time with gracery lists this would be so fun!


    222
      Lisa on January 2nd, 2010 7:45 pm

      I’ve been wanting to menu plan for a long time, this might just push me over the edge to start doing it!


    223
      Regina on January 2nd, 2010 7:47 pm

      I’ve tried other menu planning sites but this one looks much better. Would love to try it out!


    224
      BusyJulie on January 2nd, 2010 8:00 pm

      This looks awesome and so easy to use! Thanks!


    225
      Nicole on January 2nd, 2010 8:27 pm

      This looks GREAT!!!! I so could use this to help me get organinzed in the meal planning area. :)


    226
      Ayelet on January 2nd, 2010 8:31 pm

      This is so amazing. I love to look at recippes then I end up randomly saving them and not getting it planned. This site look like a dream to use and just what I need to actually stick to it!!!!


    227
      Iris Gartrell on January 2nd, 2010 8:34 pm

      Just as the website says, I have been trying repeatedly to reinvent the wheel when it comes to meal planning. I’ve tried at various times but never had more than one week planned at any time. It made life easier to have it done, though. This would be a great complement to my couponing and sale watching.


    228
      Robyn on January 2nd, 2010 8:37 pm

      This just might be the tool that finally gets me to stick with menu planning.


    229
      Jenni on January 2nd, 2010 8:46 pm

      One of my resolutions this year to meal plan- this would be wonderful!

      I may have to sign-up if I don’t win! :)


    230
      Lisa on January 2nd, 2010 8:48 pm

      As a full time working mother, this sounds awesome! I always need to plan my week out.


    231
      Lisa on January 2nd, 2010 9:10 pm

      That is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. I am starting Weight Watchers, while the rest of my family is eating “normal” so I am not only finding myself planning their menu, but also planning my seperate menu at times. What a lifesaver that would be!


    232
      Antoinette on January 2nd, 2010 9:59 pm

      I’ve already signed up to check it out. I think I’m really going to like it!


    233
      Glory on January 2nd, 2010 10:16 pm

      This would really help me get more organized in 2010. Menu planning is essential to me staying sane. However, I’ve never found a product that works like I”d like. This seems to be what I’ve been looking for.


    234
      Amanda Warner on January 2nd, 2010 10:37 pm

      WOW this would really help me as I have 3 kids and 21 credit hours in school next semester….suppers can be an ordeal at our house of things just thrown together at the last minute!!!


    235
      Jaime Ayala on January 2nd, 2010 11:10 pm

      wow. what a cool site. i think it would work well for me and my family.


    236
      Becky Qualls on January 2nd, 2010 11:23 pm

      Would LOVE to win! Sign me up!


    237
      Heather on January 3rd, 2010 3:05 am

      this seems way cool!! I definitely want it!


    238
      Lori on January 3rd, 2010 5:53 am

      Oh yes, THIS I need!


    239
      Toni on January 3rd, 2010 7:46 am

      I am new to menu planning, and would LOVE the opportunity to start with this program. It would make my hectic life much easier. Thanks!


    240
      Aimy on January 3rd, 2010 7:50 am

      This is so great! Why didn’t someone think of this sooner. I have tried a few different meal planning services, but my kids won’t always eat that stuff. This site is fabulous!


    241
      Monica on January 3rd, 2010 7:51 am

      Love it! I’m a meal planner already and would SO use this! :)


    242
      Diane Kerchner on January 3rd, 2010 7:52 am

      This is such an easy to use service that I immediately signed up for the trial release. I have already planned an entire week of menus and am rearing to go on the rest of the month. Talk about a great start to a new year! This service links to recipes from my favorite source, A Taste of Home. Thanks so much for making me aware of it! And YES, I’d love to win 2 years of it :)


    243
      Janice Williams on January 3rd, 2010 8:02 am

      Great tool! PLAN TO EAT could go one step further and link coupons with the grocery list printout. Manufacturers should be approached to participate or “bid” on that marketing spot.


    244
      Leah W on January 3rd, 2010 8:19 am

      This looks awesome!! I love that you can use your own recipes. I could always use a little help in my planning area! I’m just getting started with it all!


    245
      Tara V on January 3rd, 2010 8:19 am

      Wow, I’m just starting out menu planning and this would be very interesting to try!
      Thanks
      Tara


    246
      Kristi on January 3rd, 2010 8:26 am

      ooohh… I hope I win, but might just do the free trial anyway!


    247
      Nyky @ thecrazycrabb on January 3rd, 2010 8:47 am

      I am really trying to eat better now, and it would be great to have this service free so that I can plan for my healthy eating habits and for my husband and kids who have texture issues and picky eating habits!


    248
      Elizabeth on January 3rd, 2010 9:16 am

      This would be great to help with no buying extra that would go to waste.


    249
      Mary on January 3rd, 2010 9:30 am

      Wow! I really need this. I’m good at pulling something out of the freezer in the morning, but after teaching all day I can’t come up with anything easy, quick, or interesting to do with the chicken. My three kids and husband are soooooo tired of the same old baked chicken!


    250
      Beth on January 3rd, 2010 9:51 am

      I really like the idea of 1) being able to share with individuals; 2) an easy drag and drop system, and 3) being able to easily upload from the web. On feature I’d like to see is an option to download menus, lists, etc. so that I don’t have to JUST have it online or printed. Thanks for a give away. I think this could really help to take my menu planning to the next step!


    251
      Shannan Felix on January 3rd, 2010 9:58 am

      I love that you can import. I would love this!


    252
      Jean C on January 3rd, 2010 10:03 am

      This is awesome. We are working on tweaking our budget and this would definitely help us save money.


    253
      TobyD on January 3rd, 2010 10:09 am

      I’ve looked around their website and it looks so easy and organized! Could it really work for me and help me to get on the meal planning track?


    254
      Brook-lyn Hibbs on January 3rd, 2010 11:08 am

      I would love to win this, I have been working on a cook book for a year and would love to be able to incorporate Time and money saving techniques!!!


    255
      Laurie on January 3rd, 2010 11:34 am

      WOW!! I would LOVE to use this to help make meal planning a breeze. It would really help me get out of the rut of preparing the same meals over and over!!


    256
      Suzanne on January 3rd, 2010 12:00 pm

      This would be awesome for me!! I would LOVE to have this. I fell off the menu planning wagon because of time constraints! This would really cut the time needed and I would be able to focus on saving more! Thanks so much.


    257
      Keri on January 3rd, 2010 12:07 pm

      I have used several of the “other” sites that seem to be able to do it all. But then I end up having to do too much work and it doesn’t simplify anything. My New Years Resolution is to cut our grocery buying down from $600 a month for our family of 4 down to $300 a month. Started today: $57.68 for 5 meals PLUS enough meat for 3 additional meals. I was VERY proud of myself. My goal was $80. I would SO enjoy this “late Christmas/early birthday” present!


    258
      Lainie on January 3rd, 2010 12:25 pm

      This looks like it would save me several steps! Love it!


    259
      Candy on January 3rd, 2010 12:42 pm

      What a great tool for menu planning, it seems pretty easy for the technologically challenged – aka – me. I have just finished cleaning out and taking inventory of my cupboards and freezer. I’m determined that this is the year I’m going to menu plan and organize my house. Thanks for the opportunity to win this wonderful resource.


    260
      Kerri on January 3rd, 2010 12:53 pm

      I could SO use this tool to keep our budget (and sanity) in check!


    261
      Jennah S on January 3rd, 2010 12:59 pm

      This would certainly help me stick to my goal of meal planning every week!!! Totally great!!


    262
      audrey on January 3rd, 2010 2:15 pm

      This is awesome! I would love to use this to help simplify the meal planning I do.


    263
      Marlene on January 3rd, 2010 2:19 pm

      What an awesome, paperless, way to organize. This is the one aspect of my life that I struggle with being organized at.


    264
      Carol on January 3rd, 2010 2:52 pm

      This site sounds awesome! I’m new at menu planning so this will help me out! Thank you!


    265
      Jennifer on January 3rd, 2010 3:08 pm

      How much simpler can you get! This looks just like something this technologically challenged girl could use to feed her family of 6! Thanks for posting.


    266
      Amanda Sikes on January 3rd, 2010 3:48 pm

      I would love all the help that this website can offer in my new and improved menu planning efforts!


    267
      Bethany Kiker on January 3rd, 2010 3:53 pm

      This would be great! I am always getting to the grocery store and buying what I don’t need because I have not planned ahead. I would love something like this!


    268
      Anna on January 3rd, 2010 4:20 pm

      I am ready to start the New Year off more organized. I’ve been wanting to have more varied meals for years. I would love to try this site out to see if it would help streamline my grocery shopping.


    269
      Shari on January 3rd, 2010 4:27 pm

      I would love to use this tool to keep me organized. I’m forever looking for the envelope I wrote down the week’s meals on and took to the store with me. I’m sure my family would love it too, as I get frazzled and we eat the same things over and over.


    270
      Mary Jo on January 3rd, 2010 5:06 pm

      This looks like a great service!


    271
      Jolynda on January 3rd, 2010 5:12 pm

      W-O-W!! This looks amazing! I tried menu planning for a week and I loved it, but I didn’t know how to keep going without having the exact same things. This year, I really want to get organized, be a couponer, and menu plan. This website would help me accomplish one of my goals. Thank you so much for offering this great giveaway!!


    272
      Sally B on January 3rd, 2010 5:14 pm

      I actually checked out this site a while ago (from one of your previous entries). I would love to try it but Hubby is not working right now and I am afraid to spend money for something I am not sure I would like.

      I do a monthly calendar. I would love the recipe import feature. I need a good way to organize my menus and recipes.


    273
      Cortney on January 3rd, 2010 5:43 pm

      Wow, I am loving the grocery list and the recipe imports. I would love to try this out!


    274
      Amy B. on January 3rd, 2010 5:58 pm

      With a husband in culinary school and a new baby on the way, this could be just the thing we need!


    275
      Kim on January 3rd, 2010 5:58 pm

      Looks like a great site. I am just starting menu planning and this tool looks helpful. Would love to give it a try!


    276
      Kendra Neal on January 3rd, 2010 6:03 pm

      Ohhh, this would be a wonderful thing for our family! Meal Planning organization is one area that I am working on in 2010.


    277
      Debbie on January 3rd, 2010 6:13 pm

      This is very impressive. Thanks for sharing the information about it and for the giveaway. Happy New Year. Come join me for Crock Pot Wednesday whenever you can.


    278
      Becky on January 3rd, 2010 6:16 pm

      I am just learning how to menu plan and it isn’t coming as naturally as I would like — I think this software would really help! Thanks for the opportunity!!


    279
      Jenny on January 3rd, 2010 6:33 pm

      Looks like it could be helpful, and it certainly couldn’t hurt!


    280
      Shannon on January 3rd, 2010 6:44 pm

      I would so benefit from this program, as a mom that works full time, is in school full time and has a 8month old and 3year old this would save me so much time. Thanks for the chance.


    281
      Kim R on January 3rd, 2010 6:49 pm

      I think this whole program would be so beneficial! I especially love the shopping list part!!


    282
      Sheila I on January 3rd, 2010 6:56 pm

      This would help me plan menus so much easier then on my weekly piece of paper I stick on the fridge on Sunday! I could also access it from both work & home. I love reading cookbooks, but that is more for fun. I actually get most of my recipes from the internet, so the import feature is amazing!


    283
      Jenny Goldsby on January 3rd, 2010 7:02 pm

      WOW! Just what I have been looking for! 2010 is the year for meal planning, less wasted food and saving grocery money for me and my husband! Would love this!


    284
      Alaina on January 3rd, 2010 7:10 pm

      This looks GREAT! I’ve tried to get on top of menu planning time and time again, and just haven’t found a good system. This would really simplify things. I usually get my recipes off of a few websites, and the recipe upload feature would be such a help!


    285
      Jenny on January 3rd, 2010 7:12 pm

      This looks like a very user friendly site. Thank you for checking it out and sharing it with us! I would love to try this out.


    286
      Cindy on January 3rd, 2010 7:37 pm

      This would be awesome!! Love it!


    287
      Diann on January 3rd, 2010 7:54 pm

      This would be a handy tool to have!


    288
      Yvonne@StoneGable on January 3rd, 2010 7:58 pm

      I love menu planning and finding menu’s on line this would make my planning so much easier!
      Count me in for the giveaway.
      Thank you!
      Yvonne


    289
      Carrie on January 3rd, 2010 8:01 pm

      I am starting menu planning and I think this would be a great help to me!


    290
      Renae @ Madame Deals on January 3rd, 2010 8:09 pm

      I just started menu planning so this would be a great resource! Thank you!


    291
      Kim Beechem on January 3rd, 2010 8:10 pm

      This would be great to help us as we are trying to start budgeting and I need to plan menus better for my grocery budget.


    292
      Margaret on January 3rd, 2010 8:15 pm

      This would be great!


    293
      Emily on January 3rd, 2010 8:19 pm

      Oh my goodness! This is exactly what I need. I make a menu plan weekly, but rarely do I add new recipes to it because I have to find them, print them, find a place to keep them, remember where I put them, etc and it just never seems to work for me. I’m signing up for the free trial now.


    294
      sherrie on January 3rd, 2010 8:42 pm

      What a great resource for menu planning.


    295
      sheryl on January 3rd, 2010 9:15 pm

      this looks amazing! I have inventried my pantry and freezer and would love some help organizing my meals!


    296
      Sharon on January 3rd, 2010 9:27 pm

      I am hopelessly disorganized!! this would be great! I have tried sites that do the planning for me but I rarely like their recipes and I’m not that picky!


    297
      Melanie on January 3rd, 2010 9:34 pm

      This looks great! I will be curious to see if this will really help me out with my planning.


    298
      Desiree on January 3rd, 2010 10:12 pm

      Wow, I could really use this!


    299
      Angel on January 3rd, 2010 10:44 pm

      This would definitely help me plan my weekly meals. It looks so cool!!!!!


    300
      Beth Gunshor on January 3rd, 2010 10:44 pm

      This looks wonderful! Is there a way to keep copies of it on your hard-drive though?


    301
      Skooks on January 3rd, 2010 11:00 pm

      This sounds amazing! I have used one of those recipe plan services because I am so awful at meal planning, but I have wished there was a way to make my substitutions or change certain days of the week to more seasonally appropriate recipes. The fact that it makes your shopping list and you can add or subtract right from it is genius! Hope I win this one. :)


    302
      CaroleM on January 3rd, 2010 11:08 pm

      I am all about menu planning. In fact I can’t go shopping without a menu plan, so something like this is fantastic!


    303
      Melanie Gordon on January 3rd, 2010 11:11 pm

      I think this would help with my meal planning. There’s so much going on that this would really simplify things!


    304
      Unorganized Momma on January 3rd, 2010 11:14 pm

      Wow! Plan to eat sounds amazing! I really, really want to menu plan but haven’t come up with a system that will work for me. This definitely looks like something that would help pretty much anyone. I’d LOVE to win a subscription to this service.


    305
      DebbyD on January 4th, 2010 1:52 am

      I really NEED this! This looks great! I love the recipe import feature.


    306
      Fairion on January 4th, 2010 5:21 am

      I decided to apply the getting things done methodology to my kitchen and not just my work life. Menu planning, centralized recipe storage, automated grocery lists! This is perfect and a free year would also go towards my new years resolution of saving more money!

      Amanda Cain on January 4th, 2010 9:02 am

      With 6 of us in the house and both me and the father working outside of the home, this would be fabulous to have! I need help in the menu area. This program looks like it could help us…definitely thinking about purchasing it!!!

      Queen B on January 4th, 2010 9:34 am

      This looks like a great product. I totally agree…so many sites like this are too much trouble! I’ve tried several and determined that it is easier to be unorganized!

I must have this… so thanks, even if I don’t win… I”m still getting it!!!

    327
      Michele T. on January 4th, 2010 12:11 pm

      OMG I soooo need something like this. I am about as disorganized as you can get and it’s driving me crazy. We are making a resolution in 2010 that we are going to simplify, organize, and eat at home more!!


    328

    334
      Sammy on January 4th, 2010 1:37 pm

      From the looks of it and descriptions this sounds really easy to use. I think I spend the majority of my time searching for recipes that I would like to try and this would keep them all together plus give me a shopping list that hopefully I would stick too! haha


    335
      Kristen on January 4th, 2010 1:57 pm

      Looks like a great site that I would love to try! I am always looking for ways to simplify my life and menu planning is a necessary evil that I dread. Maybe this would take some of the dread out of it?


    336
      Emily H on January 4th, 2010 2:08 pm

      I am constantly looking for new tools to help me in my new meal planning endeavor. Thank you for checking it out and letting us know how awesome it is. I really hope that I win one of the subscriptions. Thanks again.

      brandy on January 4th, 2010 2:38 pm

      Oh this would come in real handy. I am horrible at planning out meals so I can use all the help I can get lol.


    338
      Suzanne on January 4th, 2010 2:55 pm

      This is a great tool. It seems like such an easy way to plan my meals around what my family actually likes rather than what some recipe builder tells us is good.


    339
      Kalee on January 4th, 2010 3:28 pm

      Wow, this service looks awesome! My husband and I really need to quit eating out so often, but it seems when we eat at home it is the same thing over and over. We really need to cut our grocery/dining budget this year, and this would be an awesome tool so that when I have time I can import recipes I want to try and they would all be right there in one place when I plan for the week. Right now I absolutely dread menu planning and so I have only done it a couple times in the last year!

      Thanks for sharing! Wish I had the budget to sign up now, because I am working on a menu plan right now!


    340
      Melissa on January 4th, 2010 3:31 pm

      As a busy working mom, this would really help me out since I’m at a computer all day long. I can plan my menu and make my shopping list all on my lunch break!


    341
      Krista on January 4th, 2010 4:03 pm

      I think this site would help take some the of the dread out of meal planning. If I can just have all of my recipes in one spot that would help, and this even make me a shopping list! Awesome! I would love to win this service for a year!!!!! Thanks for the opportunity!


    342
      Paula on January 4th, 2010 4:42 pm

      Georgette Johnson on January 4th, 2010 8:27 pm

      I would love this!! I’ve tried various methods and software and it is just so time intensive entering each recipe. This is a wonderful idea.


    351
      Mary on January 4th, 2010 8:28 pm

      Wow, this sounds like something that would ease my frustration! I have a family of 8 and it is so difficult to find and then store recipes and then try to figure out the grocery list each month! Thanks so much for a really nice and very detailed review!


    352
      annabelle on January 4th, 2010 8:46 pm

      Tiffany Johnson on January 4th, 2010 10:18 pm

      OMG! This is AMAZING! I have been slacking, as of late on my menu planning. :( One of my resolutions was to do monthly menu planning. I sure hope I can keep up with it. Even if I’m not one of the lucky ones to win, I just might have to get me a year subscription! ;)


    354
      Erin Davy on January 5th, 2010 12:20 am

      Eureka! I think this IS the best thing since sliced bread! So stoked to find something this easy! Hope I win!

      Christy on January 5th, 2010 6:13 am

      I would love to have this tool to help me out. I shy away from menu planning simply because everything isn’t in one place…this would fix that!!


    356
      Lauri on January 5th, 2010 7:29 am

      I would love to have this tool to help me out with my meal planning I have so much trouble with.

    359
      Lea on January 5th, 2010 10:01 am

      Thanks for the info on Plan to Eat! I love how this could help organize life a little bit. I have a two year old and just had another baby a couple of months ago and could use all the help I can get.


    360
      Joelle Henry on January 5th, 2010 10:07 am

      This sounds terrific! My major goal for the year is to be more organized and I can see how getting the menu planning down would make that easier. With eight kids and a busy schedule — I know this would make my life easier!
      Joelle


    361
      Nicole on January 5th, 2010 12:33 pm

      How wonderful! I’ve fooled with spreadsheets and write-in calendars on the fridge before… but this is so practical :)

      Shari on January 5th, 2010 3:51 pm

      WOW. I’ve been wanting to do this for some time and have never taken the time to look for something like this.

      I’m doing the 30-day trial and love that I can put my recipes in – which will get rid of the recipe clutter I have in my kitchen cabinet once and for all!! I would also be able to input recipes from my favorite site, http://www.allrecipes.com

      Oh, what a great program!


    366
      RG on January 5th, 2010 4:18 pm

    368
      Selina on January 5th, 2010 6:51 pm

      Hi, I have never tried menu planning but so many of my friends have told me how much it helps them. I am finally trying to get started on it but organization like that does not come naturally to me. I would love to try a plan like that. Thanks for writing about it!


    369
      Alysia Peters on January 5th, 2010 7:17 pm

      I need a system to plan menus. I’ve tried in the past but it fizzles out after a week or so. I like the freedom of choice this particular menu planning program. Thanks for the info.


    370
      Lisa A on January 5th, 2010 10:29 pm

      This looks like EXACTLY what I need to get my family life on track….Thank you!

      Manon Mackey on January 6th, 2010 5:09 am

      Hi,

      This would totally help me out! I love the import feature since most of the recipes I use are from the Internet.


    373
      Ronica on January 6th, 2010 11:50 am

      I think this is the first time I have seen a planner where you can import the recipes. I love this idea – organizing with simplification is fabulous!!!
