The Six O’Clock Scramble Menu Planning Service

 

 

If you need a little help with menu planning, you should check out The Six O’Clock Scramble.  Every week they send a newsletter with a great article and five meals for the week, including a grocery list.

 

I had the opportunity to try it out and love it.  I haven’t been menu planning and we got to the point where we were getting takeout much too often, simply because it was “easy” and I had nothing in mind for dinner. 

 

The Scramble makes it easy to plan and prepare great meals – especially with the ability to customize your menus.  It allows you to select meals from their database of previous weeks, so if the current week’s selections aren’t all to your taste, or you want 7 meals instead of 5, you can make it work for you.  After creating your custom menu for the week, you can print all recipes and a grocery list.  Simply mark off items you already have on hand, head to the grocery store, and pick up everything you’ll need for the full week of meals.  If you want to plan & shop for two weeks of meals at a time, you can do that too!

 

One of the new meals I tried from The Scramble, tilapia in a curried tomato sauce, has become one of my favorite dishes (I’ve already made it twice – yum!).  I don’t do spicy, plus the toddler was eating it too, so I dialed down the curry and skipped the cayenne.  The Milanesa is another new-to-us meal that was even a hit with my very particular husband.
