Biggest struggle? Variety, interest. I’m a person who likes simple and repetitive probably because I am lazy lol. Keeping my son interested in eating anything from our planned meals, even given choices, is hard.
I want to win!
Probably my biggest struggle is leftovers. I make enough so that I can have some leftovers for my lunch at work as well as maybe 1 more dinner, but I’m finding that I still make so much that I’m eating the same thing over and over again. I know I can freeze most meals, but I’ve usually found that I put stuff in the freezer, only to never return to it. So, that’s my struggle.

My biggest struggle would be having meals ready in the summer for when we have softball games in the evenings and have to leave before dinner time and eat on the way.
I’d LOVE to have this program! What a lifesaver (hair saver…stop me from pulling mine out) this would be. Well…I want to win! Big time! Thanks!
Ooh, I want to win!
I emailed some friends about it to promote.
My biggest struggle is fridge and storage space. I live in a tiny college apartment with 5 other girls, but I still try to eat real meals!
I’d love to win!

My biggest struggle with meal planning is actually the time involved. It takes me a while to look through recipes to see what coincides with ingredients I already have on hand and what’s on sale at the store that week.

My struggle NOVEL…My biggest struggle with meal planning/prep…my 14 yr old wrestles varsity and the past 3 years have been super hectic during the season (which for us lasts from mid Sept thru mid April). Practices & games seem to start or end right around the time we’d eat supper, so how do you make something, eat it and still get to where you need to be? Next year will be MUCH more hectic because he’ll be at the high school and this particular one is ALWAYS state champion. I have looked at some of the schedules so far and it starts next week…and doesn’t end until he graduates in 4 years! LOL Seriously…They have summer practice, pre-season, during season, tournaments, state championships…then it’s time for a few months to help out with the younger kids during their camps…then all over again! So…needless to say, a program like this would definitely help me out a LOT with planning and freezer cooking, which I plan to start doing in the next month or so. Not to mention, he has to eat super low fat meals and constantly watch/adjust his weight and we have a vegetarian in the house…we’re strange ones! LOL It’d be great to have back up meals in the freezer.
Anyway, I’d really like to try this program. Sounds like it could really help me! (Oh, and I didn’t even mention the 9 yr old or my other 4 grown children and 2 grandchildren…and one on the way!)
I want to win!
I’m posting this to my yahoo MOPs group!
I added a link to my facebook to your giveaway! I REALLY want this!
Thanks again for all the work you do to help us save so much money! I appreciate you!
My biggest struggle-PLANNING AHEAD!! I am just not disciplined enough to plan my meals out for all 7 days of the week-I average about 4 or 5 then I lose momentum and grab a frozen pizza! I’ve always like the idea of monthly meal plans, but find the actual process overwhelming-this software sounds like it simplifies everything-yay!
I desperately need to win this!

My personal biggest struggle with meal planning is that I don’t have a wide variety of recipes to pull from and I don’t want any “fiddly” type recipes. I want to make it quick, healthy and cheap.
I want to win too!

My biggest struggle is meal planning for my husband–he is very hands-on which is AWESOME! but it also makes it tough to just plan something because he wants to know exactly what I am planning and wants to make sure there is enough protein.
I want to win!!!
My biggest dinner challenge is accomidating my husband’s ever changing schedule. He’s frequntly got to work late, sometimes at the last minute, and he often gets busy and forgets to call and let me know. We’re really trying to have a family dinner every night, but I don’t want my toddler to have to wait until 8pm to eat dinner with Daddy! It’s not his fault, but it’s certainly difficult to plan around.
My biggest struggle is that one of my children eats GFCF and he is very picky too. So, I struggle with finding recipes that can be adapted for him as well as making sure the rest of the family will eat it too! Its getting a little better as time goes on, but I feel like since the GFCF diet started 2 months ago, my menu planning went totally out the window. I used to be very organized, but this threw me for a loop! I’d love to get more organized again because I’m spending way too much at the grocery store these days!
I would love to win this. My 4 kids get tired of picking out the menus.
Sounds Cool! I’d love to win this!
My biggest struggle with meal planning is just following through with it! My Husband is not a big fan of leftovers or two similar entrees two days in a row. And he’ll say, I don’t feel like that tonight…so I have to make new plans!
I would love to win!!!!!!
Yay! I definitely want to win!
My biggest struggle is trying to figure how to use all the stuff that I stockpile with sales and coupons. I know that I need to have a plan/menu and then I could really benefit from shopping sales and using coupons.
Oh, and I subscribe!
