I've been a hit or miss blogger for a while - mostly miss - but the time has come that I'm back. I've recently found a few things that I enjoy doing, aside from my photography, and want this blog to continue to be a place where I can share that.
Now - We all know that I'm not one to bandwagon. Case in point: I've never seen Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, or Twilight. [Thank you, Thank you.] But I've recently found a "bandwagon" I'm more than willing to jump on.
What's that you ask?
E-Mealz.
What the heck is E-Mealz?
Amazing.
I am a religious listener to the Dave Ramsey radio show [Nerd Alert!]. He's always talking about "meals made easy" [e-mealz]. Had this been mentioned by anyone else, I would have discounted it as some lame attempt to sucker me out of some money. However, once I visited the website -- I was thoroughly impressed.
Back to my question -- what the heck is e-mealz?
E-Mealz is nothing short of a small piece of heaven. It's a dinner menu planner and a grocery list that someone else makes for you. [Yes, you heard me right.] You're given the option of feeding a family of 4-6 or a family of 2 with your menu selection. You're also given the opportunity to select a particular grocery store, if you'd like (Wal-Mart, Publix, Whole Foods, etc.). And as if that's not enough - you're given the opportunity to chose a diet specific menu (Portion Control [read: weight watchers], Low Carb, Gluten Free, Vegetarian, etc.)
[Note: If you choose a specific grocery store, the prices for items on the grocery list are provided -- thus, keeping you within a budget.] The goal of E-Mealz is to feed you for under $4/person -- so, stop telling me it's cheaper to "eat out" -- because it's not!
Are they serious?? Yes, they are. E-Mealz does pretty much everything except feed you the wonderful dinner they've created.
So - how much is E-Mealz? Depending on how long you subscribe, it's as low as $1.25 per week [$5/month]. The most expensive option [3 months] is only $7/month.
I was so tired of eating the same ol', same ol' for dinner - my grandma's spaghetti recipe is only appetizing for so long. 1,345 times to be exact. [No, really.]
Here's my favorite recipe so far. I give it four stars, two thumbs up, or whatever it is we're giving an awesome dinner these days. [I failed to take a picture, but I'll be making this again soon and will thoroughly document!]
If you find yourself being intrigued by having someone else prepare your dinner menu filled with simple, amazingly wonderful recipes, annnndddddd make out your grocery list for a minimal cost -- E-Mealz is for you. Click the link below or the e-mealz bar found earlier in the post.
Happy [no] Menu Making!
