Food banks are suffering as more and more families need their services and less contributions are coming in.

There is some confusion in the marketplace revolving around our meal planning website www.emealsforyou.com and one called e-Mealz.  While both sites provide meal plans we think you should have the facts before you decide.

e-Mealz:

It is our understanding that e-mealz is a subscription service that you sign up for and download a weekly Adobe pdf file  based on what that individual grocery store you picked has on sale that week. The service charge for this is $15 per quarter ($60 per year), automatically charged to your credit card until you send them a note to stop. You receive, depending on the plan, either 5 or 7 dinner meal ideas and a shopping list for these meals.

The upside is you are able to plan your meals for the week and save money as the ingredients are on sale.  The downside is that you have to like the recipes they send you and use the ingredients they recommend; including many canned soups, sauces and ingredients.  Meal plans fall into two categories: Family – 7 dinners for 4-6 people and Regular – 5 dinners for 2 people.  e-Mealz provides only the prescribed meals per week; no substitutes, if you don’t like one or two, they tell you to simply cross those ingredients off the shopping list.  More importantly if your kids won’t eat what they suggest, you are right back to where you started from: planning several meals without help.  There is no opportunity to change the meal plans or to pick meals and desserts other then the dinner plans they provide.   Based on the Internet comments regarding this service many become bored with the meals and feel locked in to what e-Mealz thinks they should be eating.

www.emealsforyou.com:

emealsforyou.com is a subscription meal planning service; providing a variety of recipes and meal plans (hundreds to choose from) along with shopping lists based on your choice of recipes and meal plans.  All of our recipes and meal plans are scalable (just pick the number of people you are feeding 1,2,4,6,8,10,12) and we will automatically scale the recipes and ingredients for you.  If you are having more or less people for the meal; simply scale that meal to suit your needs.  Put the meal plans or recipes in your Favorite Box and you can save them and also create shopping lists unique to your choices.  We have hundreds of recipes and meal plans to choose from, with no additives or preservatives, and also have a very easy method to create you own meal plans and print a shopping list.  Our members have reported savings of 10-20% on their groceries when they shop using a shopping list.  With www.emealsforyou.com you are not limited to dinners but have everything from appetizers through desserts; plus special categories for special needs and no limit on the number of meal and recipes your choose..

emealsforyou.com has recipes and meal plans covering a large selection of health and happiness conditions.  You simply choose the ones that work for you.  While e-Mealz provides 7 or 5 recipes you have signed up for; we allow you to choose recipes and meal plans that you like.  Why let someone else tell you what to feed your family?  We offer you the choice of over 500 great and easy recipes and meal plans.  Choose, size and print your shopping list.

Flame-roasted asparagus

So let me tell you why you would go the extra step and peel the asparagus. First of all is the fact that nobody really likes the tough outer skin of the asparagus– it’s a bit stringy isn’t it? You go to the market and you spend time picking through the pile of asparagus to find the skinniest stalks to avoid the problem. Now you get home and you cut off most of the stalk anyway, leaving the tip and maybe a little of the stalk… a little wasteful don’t you think; besides the Asparagus Council says that thicker asparagus is better tasting.

Enter the amazing asparagus peeler. A simple device designed to peel only the outer most layer of the stalk leaving you with only the tender, tasteful inner soul. No need to pick through the pile anymore… buy the biggest stalks you can find, peel them and you will be amazed at the taste. I am such an advocate of the asparagus peeler that I am willing to put my money where my mouth is. Sign up for www.emealsforyou.com using the Sponsoring Identifier PEELER-37; not only will you get $5 off the membership price but I will send you an asparagus peeler for free.

Why not buy yourself a membership as well. Use the same code and we will deduct the $6 from the membership fee of $36 making your cost $30.

Save Money! Save Time! Save $5.00! Enter EMEALS-42 when you register for emealsforyou and receive $5 off the subscription price. That’s 1 FULL YEAR of meal planning for only $31.00. Sign up now.
