These meals will keep coming, every week, all planned, with your grocery list all made out, it's a dream for busy parents or any busy person, parents or not. Traditional, gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo & now vegetarian options are all covered.
Here's what else you'll get with these healthy meal plans:
- Included are recipes for double batches to remind you to freeze one to have on hand for busy nights or if you want to take a meal to a sick friend.
- A search box that really works.
- If you have company coming, you can easily change the serving size for each recipe! Adjustable portions from 1 to 100. This also modifies your shopping list – which is ALL made out for you. If you already have some of the ingredients listed, you can easily remove them.
- Every single recipe can be modified to add or remove ingredients your family does or doesn't like, and you can also add notes to the recipes, too.
- If you're new to real food, this is perfect because there are basics here too, like roasted chicken and bone broth.
- Even with my computer that is getting old and slow, everything came up quickly, I didn't yell at my computer once!
- Check out some of my favorites:
- Avocado chicken salad
- Classic Pot Roast with Autumn Veggies
- Savory Pumpkin Risotto with sage
- Chicken pot pie crumble
- Classic Vichyssoise (a potato and leek soup)
- There's a helpful short video for how to use all the features effectively and save you loads of time.
- Even if you don't think you'd use this as a regular meal plan, just for the interactive recipes it's worth it. Anytime you want to try something new, the shopping list is all done for you!
- Kitchen-tested, family-approved recipes.
- A simple yet comprehensive online experience (not just PDFs in your inbox).
It's like having one great big interactive cookbook at my fingertips and it's for ANY type of diet.

Guess what else?
It comes with an APP — it has smart phone capability to make shopping a breeze.
As you walk around the farmer’s market or your favorite shops, you can check off items you purchase, making your trip quick and efficient, and you'll spend less because you'll walk in on a mission. If you're sending your spouse or a helper to the store… Here's what Emily says:
I don’t know about you, but sending my hubby to the store with a shopping list can often result in some surprising purchases that end up in my kitchen.
With Real Plans, you can add notes and even pictures of your favorite brands so you get exactly what you need – the first time around.”

I’m searching for an interactive meal planner. One that I can make lists of different food categories, such as a list of meats, veggies, etc. that I enter in the program, and then choose from for each meal. I have “myfitnesspal” at this time. I can program complete meals and repeatedly enter the same meals on different days, but that’s not what I’ looking for. Any help or suggestions you could give me would be much appreciated.
Thank you, Wally G.
