Meal Planning

[kitchenqueen]

Meal planning is such a tricky thing to achieve successfully, sometimes you buy to much, sometimes you buy too little, and sometimes you just change your mind! it would be great to use a service that could help with all these problems! my kids always tell me they want Mac Cheese, or Sausages for dinner, then we get to table and there is a giant moan.. "oh not sausages!" does anyone else get this?

Am just playing with the demo of MacGourmet Deluxe. Looks good!

Easily create, build and share your recipe collection. Make notes about your favorite wines; plan meals for a day or a week and then sync to iCal. Get the nutritional values of foods, recipes and individual servings by accessing the USDA database included in MacGourmet Deluxe. Print out shopping lists or export them to your PDA. Find recipes online and add them to your collection using MacGourmet’s intuitive features. Publish recipes to your blog or .mac account. Even use your family recipes to create your own professional-looking, bound cookbook!

Any of you other Mac girls looked at this? Looks a bit fiddly to enter some recipes.. altho I haven't looked at the import function yet.

But I think it would make recipe sharing nice & easy!

NB. I haven't looked at the purchase price yet.. still on demo.

ETA: hmm... it's US$44.95. Will need to make the most of the demo before purchasing me thinks!

Rach, I have just emailed you the planner. No doubt you will already have lots of copies, but just wanted to be sure you got it.
