Thanks for the helpful site–just added my first menu plan to a very new blog I’m working on–new at both so forgive any wonkiness please!

Looking forward to reading all the great ideas you all have.

I noticed that http://www.dinnerbeat.com wasn’t on the list of free menu planners.

It’s a great site that lets you plan menus from your recipes (it even has an autoplanner that uses your ratings for the recipes) and then it generates a printable grocery list. My wife hands that to me since we have two little ones.

All I have to do is buy what’s on the list, then my family gets great, healthy dinners, and I can help out my wife by doing the grocery shopping. The site saves her a ton of time.

So my family loves Dinnerbeat.com and the best part is that it’s free.

Thank you! I love the printables that include breakfast, lunch and dinner as I have to plan for all 3 and snacks with a large family in order to ensure that I buy enough at the grocery store. I make my shopping list after completing my menu plan.

The whole wheat honey zuchinni bread sounds very lovely. I think it will be perfect for using up the last zuchinni from my CSA program. Thanks!

Today I made a double batch of Ranger Cookies. A big favorite of ours–has oatmeal in it and chocolate chips as well. Tonight I made Deconstructed Lasagne and it was delish!!! It’s found in Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine, Feb 2009 issue, probably find it on her website as well. http://www.rachaelray.com
Rest of the week is porkloin in broth (already cooked) with mini ravioli for Tues. Meatloaf, veggies and cornbread on Wed. Frozen lasagne by Marie Callendar when we get to the beach cabin we’re staying at for a few days. In an effort to cut down on spending so much we are making different choices while gone on a trip where there’s a kitchen to cook at. Lunches are cheaper to eat out than dinner. We hope to find some local clam chowder to eat one night. Will let you know how we do!!! Have a great week!!
