Menu in a Box Online Meal Planning is a subscription membership site created by a Mom for busy families to make meal planning simple, and that’s why I love it so much.

  • Instructions on how to create your own meal plans, plus print recipes & generate a shopping list in minutes.
  • Tutorials on cooking basics, time-saving techniques, entertaining tips, birthday parties ideas, baking methods and techniques, and kitchen safety guidelines.
  • An absolutely fantastic children section to inspire your kids to get in the kitchen and create, not to mention downloadable educational activities that help to teach your kids to meal plan and develop healthy habits from a young age. I LOVE this section; obviously Ruthie and I agree that, yes, pre-schoolers CAN cook too!
  • Everything you need to know about  kitchen organizing that will save you time and money. With resources about food safety and storage tips (to keep your food tasting better longer), how to get the most out of your freezer, ways to save money and not skimp with your grocery budget.

Just weekly meals! There isn’t a special event coming up {that I’m in charge of!}–this sounds awesome! I love to plan my meals & this would be a GIFT to have the menu/shopping list set up for me {especially with all the choices!}…woohoo!
