e-mealz


Go check this site out, ITS AMAZING! I just SIGHNED UP and Iam already LOVING IT! Tommarow Iam doing my Grocery shopping with the list that I printed and it all adds up to $89.00 SA-WEET!!!!!!


why e-mealz?...
E-Mealz has been created to provide a kid-friendly and family-uniting meal planning resource for busy Moms and frugal family cooks. Each meal plan is based on the current sales at the grocery stores, with plan options categorized according to store and/or weight management strategy. The recipes are delicious, simple and easy to follow. Each plan is new every week and has a corresponding aisle-by-aisle grocery list. Almost every week includes a crock-pot recipe and easy dinner ideas. There are meal plans for two people, for a low fat diet, a low carb diet, and for those who are following a point system, as well!


E-Mealz is the brainchild of Jane DeLaney. She has four children and a husband who are all picky eaters. But she is most famous in her circles for being a cheapskate. She knows how to maximize her grocery budget and beat the system. She has been known to leave the grocery store with a cart full of groceries, and the store will have given her money! (See Jane's Saving Secrets to learn how she combines the power of budget meal planning and using coupons!) She knows that debt-proof living is impossible without a budget, and the grocery budget is the hardest to manage. Jane is often heard saying, "You can't win without a plan, and poor meal planning is a MONEY PIT!" E-Mealz is a comprehensive and workable plan that accomplishes every goal you may have for yourself and your family when it comes to dinnertime.


Goal #1

Spending time with your family

Goal #2

Save time and money

Goal #3

Serve delicious food


Goal #4

Save yourself from multiple and last minute trips to the grocery store

Goal #5

Stare at your children across from the dinner table rather than into the

pantry looking for a dinner idea


Goal #6

Lose weight without preparing separate meals for the family. (Every meal plan is designed to be family friendly, even the weight management plans! See sample)

These are Simple and Easy Meals That Solve Your Dinner Dilemma!


Each week's plan represents many hours of planning, pricing and recipes testing all for only $1.25! Needless to say, you will recoup that amount of money many times over with E-Mealz. Groceries will never bust your budget again!



-Mealz is designed to “set you free” to enjoy your family around the dinner table with delicious home-cooked meals at night, to save money week after week at the grocery store and to take the guesswork out of meal planning. Food is a huge part of Life, and well-managed homes and budgets make for more Happiness! So the Liberty E-Mealz offers you is priceless!



I think I may end up LOVING TO GO GROCERY SHOPPING and to COOK! Hmmm...........Just maybe we will wait and see, I will let ya know how it goes!

Recipe Card Holder

A Simple Recipe Card Holder that I made!
Items needed: 2x2 block or your, Hand saw, Modge Podge, Cute paper and Riibon,Sand Paper and a Paint Brush!

I took the 2x2 block and sawed and thin line on the top just wide enough for a recipe card to fir into. I sawed it at an angle so when I went to put the card in there it would sit at and angle so I can read it better! Then I modge Podged the scrapbooking paper on. For the top I went through the line again after I added the paper so that the paper would not dry over it!  I also went along all the edges and used sandpaper the distress the edges!

Added a cute rub on embellishment and some ribbon!
A nice little card holder that doesnt take up much space!

I came up with this for a craft to do at Releif soc. the other night. We made them after we sampled many delicious recipes that the sisters brought! It was fun to see how everyone decorated them!

I also think I am going to be WHIPPING some more of these up REAL SOON to use as PHOTO HOLDERS!

FOIL Dinners on the GRILL

I dont know if I have mentined before, but Iam Not a big fan of cooking( and I hate grocery shopping, because that requires me having to think about what to cook!). I dont like making something that is very time consuming.

 I do like something that is fast to throw together and then let it cook though!

We made some Foil dinners that turned out really YUMMY!

I used: a frozen vegtable mix, frozen green beans and another frozen mix with chopped potatoes, onions and green peppers. for the meat we used Turkey Hamburgers. When I had it all arrangend  I put a slice of butter on the top and then sprinkled the whole thing with salt and pepper! Wrapped it up just like a burrito in 2 layers of foil and then My hubby put them on the Grill for about 20 min. or until they were cooked all the way! MMmmmmm............they we so delish!



For the Kids- I used the frozen potato, onion and pepper mix and then cracked and egg. I had to form the tinfoil a little so that when I cracked the egg it wouldnt run out. The bottom picture will show how I formed the tin foil and I also put a second layer around.
They also went on the grill. The egg did not turn out to be runny like i wanted it to, but it turned out good. Doodle and Bug werent big fans of the onions and peppers, but they liked the egg and Potato's, and with a little ketchup on top it was even better!
