Weekend giveaway: Plan to Eat

Today’s giveaway comes from loyal monthly sponsor Plan to Eat, a genius little online program that pretty much does everything for you but actually cook your meals.

This is a simple tool that allows you to store your favorite recipes (and import them from around the Internet!), create menu plans using those recipes, and even provide grocery lists based on those same recipes.

My favorite feature? How simple it is. Its clean interface allows for intuitive interaction — it took me mere seconds to get my account up and running, and I had my weekly menu plan created in minutes.

This is a great tool for busy families with hungry kids.

You can share recipes with others on Plan to Eat, you can organize your grocery lists by store, and you can tag your recipes in infinite ways. You can even track nutritional information and cost breakdown of all of your recipes and menus! And for those of you that love going paperless, you can use Plan to Eat’s mobile app to carry all your menu planning with you. No more accidentally leaving the house without your grocery list.

Take a tour of Plan to Eat to learn about more of its features.

Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed. Plan to Eat is offering an yearly subscription for five Simple Mom readers!

This giveaway will end tonight, Saturday, May 26, and I’ll announce the winner soon after. I hope you win!

  61. avatar Katrina says:

    My friend and I were talking just yesterday about planning meals. She uses a subscription program she loves and I was considering it, but just wasn’t sure because it tells you what your meal plan is for the week. I’ve used MasterCook, but it’s not portable! So I’ve been searching for a new program. This imports recipes from the web, I can get the information on my cell while I’m shopping?! Wowza! Put my name in the hat, please!

  62. avatar Charity says:

    I like the idea of it giving nutritional information!

  63. avatar Kathy S. says:

    Sounds like a wonderful tool. Like your blog!
