Episode #27 – Meal Planning How and Why
First, I share my thoughts on Alice.com – a new website to order household goods from.
Alice provides you a better way to manage all of your household essentials online. You tell Alice what you buy—choosing from great deals on 1000’s of products—and Alice goes to work. We organize all of your products, find coupons and deals for you, remind you when you might be running low, and help you order just the items you need so you can avoid that trip to the corner drugstore or the big-box store. And all this convenience comes direct to your door with free shipping included.
I LOVE ALICE! It cut my time in half in the grocery store! That alone is worth a try!
Next, I’m so super excited to be joined today by Laura from I’m An Organizing Junkie. I’ve wanted to talk with her for some time now about menu planning. After all she is the super fabulous hostess of Menu Plan Monday!
Not only does she tell us how and why she began meal planning, Laura provides such useful information on dealing with food allergies. This is a must for moms having a hard time planning menues around someone with food allergies. Bottom line – it’s not as hard as it seems!
You won’t believe how much fun the two of us had discussing meal planning! We talked, and talked, about:
- How we each meal plan
- Planning around food allergies
- Using themes in meal planning
- Getting the kids involved (and the hubby)
- Where we get our recipes
Both Laura and I hope that after this show, you’ll be convinced to start planning your family’s meals!
