E-mealz??

I don't think the meals would actually feed 6 unless you are all small eaters. The recipes often have canned or frozen veggies but you can easily substitute. I liked the meals at first but then we started only liking one or two of the recipes each week. I hated how if I say had to buy a carton of ricotta I would only use part of it and then there would be no use for the rest of the carton, even in the next weeks recipes. I felt like I was wasting food and money of some things.

Is this the thing advertised by Dave Ramsey? I am curious about it but haven't researched. I"ll be looking to see what other people have to say.

I used E-mealz for a little while and really liked it. I used the Weight Watchers version and it was great for counting points. I have a friend who used it for her family of 5 (3 boys) and the servings for 6 seemed to work.

The meals always include fruit and/or veggies, but not always in the main course. It usually puts a side with the meal. It does use a little more canned food than I would have liked, but one of the points is to make it "easy", so I guess I can understand. I would substitute fresh veggies when you can.

I don't think you'll be disappointed. I printed out all of the meals each week and cancelled after about a year. I had enough of things we liked to rotate them. Good luck!

A great alternative to that would be to try Homemade Gourmet. As a consultant for them, I use the meal planning that comes in the mail each month. I love it because it has the meals planned out, includes the seasonings that you need as well as a grocery list. The big advantage is all fresh ingredients are used with no preservatives added to the seasonings, and you add in your own fresh fruit, veggies and/or meat.

I LOVE E-MEALZ! My husband and I have used it weekly for 3 monthes now, and COULDN"T LIVE WITH OUT IT!

I tried e-mealz for awhile and was pleased overall. The menu has good variety, the pricing on the shopping lists is incredibly accurate, and the meals were easy to prepare.

You would have to sub your own fresh veggies, as most meals called for frozen veggies, occasionally canned veggies event. If you go by the recipes, you won't have leftovers for a family of 6, but you probably won't run out of food at the table. We have a family of 4 and usually had small amounts of leftovers.

Some of the meals are designed to provide leftovers for another meal. Like a rotisserie chicken is supposed to last two meals, the second as shredded chicken for soup or something like that. You will have to double up on the main ingredient to get it to go that far. Good luck!
