Recipe Resources

When I had my twins in February 2006, I struggled to get dinner on the table. I needed something fast and easy. I was never prepared, for crying out loud I generally did not know if I should scratch my watch or wind my…. you know. It was a very trying time in my life.

Fast forward a few years later and I finally have my stuff in order when it comes to getting dinner on the table. I have equipped myself with some great meal planning tools.

In an effort to share resources and solutions with mommy’s everywhere you will find over 90 easy recipes on my site. I have even added a feature that allows you to make the recipe printer friendly for those who have recipe binders, etc.

I also have a passion for helping mom’s who struggle with meal planning. Does the idea or process overwhelm you? I have broken the process down into five simple steps anyone can follow.

Hi Crystal,
This is a great post for meal planning. I have been planning meals for our family for over 30 years and I can’t tell you the amount of time and money it has saved over the years. I post What’s for Dinner Next Week every Sunday afternoon, which is a meal plan for the week. You might enjoy adding it to your list. Hope you are having a great week end and thanks for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
See you soon!
Miz Helen

Almost all of the recipe resources you mentioned are new to me. I’m looking forward to checking them out.

I’d like to add Cozi’s grocery list feature to your grocery list. The list can be looked at online or through the Cozi app on a smartphone. A friend of mine actually has her list organized by aisles in the grocery store. Now that’s organized!
