A Tasty Compliment


Eric - my finicky-taste-budded 9-year old - told me last night that he thinks i make the best dinners ever! That garnered a hearty hug from me and a huffy pout from my mother-in-law! Wish i could take <i>all</i> the culinary credit, but this is really another feather in the cap for <a href="http://e-mealz.com/index.shtml">MealtimeMakeover.com</a>, the weekly dinner and grocery planning service that's been a lot of fun for my whole family. The only complaint i have is that portions tend to be a lot bigger than my family of 6 is accustomed to eating. Even with leftovers for lunch, i'm finding that i have to throw away older dishes that don't get consumed fast enough. That quibble aside, it's been nothing short of a culinary adventure for everyone with easy-to-find ingredients and super-simple cooking instructions! Who knew cooking could be this much fun?

Money Food Fight Mini-Update


Just a quick update from our first meal on the MealtimeMakeover.com plan - the chicken mushroom linguine dish was a huge hit with the kids, particularly finicky eater Eric who asked for 3 helpings!


Quick and easy to make - i'm really looking forward to seeing how well the other dishes turn out. One thing to keep in mind is that for those who are intermediate cooks, you might not want to follow every recipe or grocery list item to the letter - the Caesar salad package was unsatisfactory by itself (it was the first time i'd bought one of those pre-fab salad kits), so i supplemented it with my own salad recipe. But if you use the shopping lists and recipes as general guidelines with room for creative modifications where necessary, it looks like you'll have more than enough leeway to create some very satisfactory meals on a very reasonable budget with little to no waste afterwords.


i'll keep updating our experiences with this meal/shopping plan as we take our tummies for further taste tests. Definitely a promising start!
