Emeals UPDATE!

So, I've been a subscriber to Emeals for about a month now. When I originally joined I chose the Paleo Family Plan. Well, let me start off by saying that I had not eaten anything I did not like on this plan. It was all delish and never left me feeling with that "ugh...I'm bloated feeling" before bed or even when I woke up the next morning. Then enters a lil bitty problem...MY DAUGHTER WASN'T EATING! Yeah, I know as a good mother your children should be eating dinner with you and not just chips. Chips are not classified as a healthy dinner - at least not every night! So after getting hammered by the hubster I decided to try the Classic Family Plan. BINGO...we now have an eating daughter!

This plan is just like the Paleo...the names may sound weird and scare you off but the recipes are truly easy to make. They incorporate crockpot cooking (which I LOVES!) along with all the American classics you can think of. However, they do have somewhat of a twist on their recipes...they aren't just your typical meatloaf. Like tonight I'm making Honey BBQ meatloaf - mmmm...my mouth is watering. The best thing I love about Emeals is that you have sides. When I started meal planning on my own that was a problem I had...what sides do I make. So I kind of went into having the same 'ol potatoes, mac, and corn. Now we have variety.

And guess what...I don't spend a lot of time planning meals anymore. Every Wednesday I get an email with the new recipes for the week. You can choose to make all of them or just some of them. I like to mix it up sometimes...so when I see a recipe from another blog or Pinterest that I must try I add it to the calendar. Yes, I put my meals on my Google calendar which syncs up with my phone.

I highly recommend giving it a try. It takes all the stress out of planning the meals...unless that's what you like doing!

Let me know what you think...

Guess Who Joined Emeals....

Did you guess?! Who is it?! MEEEEEE....

Yep, I finally took the plunge after my friend at work told me the great success she has had with the service. She sent me a sample Paleo menu for the week. I have not made all the recipes because they give you recipes for 7 days. And who cooks 7 days a week?! Well, not me at least - ahaha! So at this point I've made 3 of the meals and can I tell ya that I feel so much better eating this way. I'm not bloated and super full like before. And for this one week it did seem as though I saved some dinero at the store. It's like lately I'm not walking out of the grocery store without spending between $150 - $200 a WEEK - EEK! And at this point I'm going through Financial Peace University from Dave Ramsey - so spending that amount a week is not bueno...



 Dinner has been a hard meal to control my eating. I can do good all day at work and then when I get home it's a whole other story. Sad to say but true! So I'm not sure exactly what the Paleo diet consists of but all I know is that for dinner I'm eating more lean and clean. Not so much carbs at night which is what I need. I'm the kind of girl that seems to get stuck in a rut and make the same thing over and over. And then you have to have sides...what tha?! Same 'ol mac and cheese, potatoes, green beans...

So I'm excited to start this journey with Emeals....
