My biggest struggle is not sticking with the menu plan I make. The family schedule changes. Moods change and such
I would love to win this!!!
I am a feed subscriber!
I’d love to win this. thanks for the contest!
My biggest struggle is being organized when I get home from work. It is easier to pop a pizza in the oven then try to cook a meal. I need freeze more meals ahead of time.
As with most moms (and dad’s too), I struggle with trying to figure out what is for dinner, what I can make with ingredients on hand and without having to run to the store, and how to feed healthy without spending a fortune. I love knowing that I can always turn to 5 dollar dinners and find myriad of recipes that will be perfect solutions to this dilemma. Would love to get in on this giveaway, which I think would really help. Budgeting on a social security income (disabled here) can be tricky, but we are all in the same financial boat, no matter our income, and I thank you for being there for us.
Oooo! I want to win!
Awesome tool! I’d love to win one!
I would LOVE to Win. I hate coming up with new ideas- after working all day, I really don’t want to think.
Biggest struggle would be my DH… he doesn’t help with meal planning. he is totally the guy who eat hungry and looking in the frig/cabinets to see what’s available and then munches! I hate that. B/c he never tells me what he is hungry for so I don’t have it on hand.

I started coupon clipping as a New Year’s resolution and have saved at least $10 per week, usually more, on my family’s groceries. A few minutes of time each week is really worth it!

I also subscribe to your feed in my google reader. I love seeing the menu ideas while I’m stuck in traffic, makes for great dinner inspiration!
Finally, my biggest struggle is convincing my husband that meal planning isn’t a bad thing. I’ve done a month at a time once and I think that’s the best for us. He doesn’t feel as “locked in” for the meal as he does when it’s just a week.
I have to win this =)

My biggest struggle is being a busy single mom – trying to get healthy and quick meals on the table for my kids.
Greatest Challenge: Taking something out of the freezer to thaw so I can actually cook it!

I blogged about your give away here.

On of the biggest struggles for me is getting home from work at 6:30 and having to cook dinner. When I plan meals I tend to change my mind when I get home whether because I’m tired or something came up. I try to come up with new meals, but I often get stuck in a rut.
Posted this contest on my facebook status.
This looks like something I need!
I would love to try this program out!
I’d love to be able to have this!
I get your e-mails!
The biggest struggle when I DO plan out our meals is DH & Dkids getting into ingredients I’ve set aside for certain meals. I also have a chronic illness, and for those days I can’t cook due to illness/ appointments, if I don’t have anything in the crockpot, I pull out one of our “emergancy pizzas” from the freezer and we have that!
I would like to have at least dinner better planned, so I won’t have to use those “emergancy pizzas”.
