I first heard of eMeals from two other graduate students in my lab. They would talk about it over lunch while eating their leftovers, saying how easy it is to plan dinner now. So when eMeals contacted me asking if I would like to try it out myself, I couldn’t think of a reason not to. Especially when I can then turn around and offer a giveaway to my readers!

eMeals relies on a team of experienced meal planners, writers and editors to create new dinner menus every week that are designed around grocery store sales, seasonal specials and diet preferences. For as low as $5.00 per month, subscribers download a recipe plan for the week with a matching aisle-by-aisle grocery list. The easy-to-follow recipes usually contain fewer than seven ingredients to allow for prep times of less than 30 minutes. It also helps families stay within a predictable budget by being prepared with a detailed list to use at the grocery store.

The eMeals program has over 30 meal plan options to choose from and provides a consistent and reliable approach to food budgeting by factoring the weekly cost of ingredients into each menu plan. And my favorite part is that this is not just for families. They do have the Family Menu Plan for 3-6 servings, but I was much more interested in the For Two Menu Plan with 1-2 servings. Both sizes are available for all of their meal plans, which include: Classic Meals, Clean Eating, Simple Gourmet, Paleo, Low Carb, Low Fat, Portion Control, Natural & Organic, Gluten Free, and Vegetarian.
