Cooking is the best way to know exactly what is in your food. It’s also a top way to save money and can be a relaxing activity for you and your family.
By now, you may have found your groove of cooking all of your meals at home. Awesome! You also may be sick of every single recipe that you have! Food ruts are real and if the thought of coming up with a week’s worth of menus (and the dreaded shopping list to support it) makes you want to throw in the towel, here are some ideas.
PlateJoy is an online meal planning service that allows you to input details about your dietary needs, ingredient preferences and the level of effort you’re willing to put in to cooking. Based on your needs, the service creates a customized meal plan along with a shopping list in minutes.
