• a menu planner for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks with an easy drop and drag function from recipes you input into your recipe box, but you can also just type in your own items/notes.

• a recipe book where you can store your recipes from home and from the internet and invite friends to join you and share recipes.

• a shopping list that will also store your pantry inventory and allow you to cook based on whats in your pantry at the moment (just click the "Cook from My Pantry" button and recipes matching your ingredients will pop up)

• the ability to create an iPhone mobile ready "app" so you can quickly access information at the grocery store or on the run (Im forever needing to have my actual menu with me when Im away from home. has also helped me to coordinate with my daughter who helps me shop and cook. I just tell her to check the app since we both keep it on our phones.)

Now that you know the basics, let me expand on one of my favorite things about this site. If I find a recipe on a blog or website that I like and want to try, I can easily upload it into the Plan To Eat recipe planner. Theres a little link you add to your tool bar which you click when you find the page with the recipe you want - much like the "pin it" link for Pinterest. When you click the button on the toolbar, it opens a window up on the right side (see photo below) and will either automatically upload the recipe or if it cant do that, it will make it easy for you to copy the information and paste it in each section. Trust me... it works quickly and easily! Another way to upload recipes is just to copy the URL and paste it in on the Plan To Eat site in your recipes. 

After the recipe is uploaded into your Recipe Book,  you can then add a photo if it doesnt import one from the site.

I looked at several other menu apps for iPhone, but I didnt find one that also had a computer version. And really, I wanted the iPhone app just as a back up for when Im at the store and shopping. Most of my menu planning happens at home on the big screen. Plan To Eat had both.

Interested yet? What if I told you they give you a 30 day free trial? Sweet.
