TastyPlanner

Lauren - this is really a response to your post below but I didn't want to put it in a comment. Thanks for the dinner ideas, it's so nice to have more ideas when trying to put a plan together. I remembered after I saw your post that I found this website called tastyplanner.com that I love using. You can add your own recipes to the website, or find recipes from other users, and add them to weekly menus (easy as dragging and dropping it onto the day). Then you can print out your grocery list for the week! I mainly use this for the grocery list option.





After I had Jane I went to this site and searched for a whole bunch of recipes that sounded good, and then I put the recipes on the weekly planner - several weeks worth so that I didn't have to think about it again. At the beginning of each week I just printed out the recipe list and each night I'd put the laptop on the counter and just looked at the recipe online (sometimes I printed them out). It made that time with a new baby a lot easier. Since then I've put my own recipes on there, which is a little time consuming but in the end it's really handy as you can use it over and over again.

The site isn't perfect - the search options are limited as are some other features, but using it very simply it is very helpful.
