Beans and Rice are regular staple in our house and these key ingredients are always found on the weekly menu. Sometimes they are a side dish and sometimes they just make it as the main meal. That’s why I love the fact that these three key ingredients work so well together. With Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix this is one of my Fast Fix Meals on any night of the week.

Are you interested in a more organized way to meal plan and grocery shop? Maybe you would like to be able to customize your grocery lists and add more nutrition or see how many calories are on your weekly menus. Lots of  you may wonder about nutrition and calories when it comes to meal planning and creating recipes. This new feature I’d added from Say Mmm allows me to add information about nutrition and calories to the meal plans and recipes I share with you. Counting calories isn’t something I usually talk about but if you want to know a calorie count on my recipes, it’s nice to be able to offer a suggestion of how to figure it out.

I love to meal plan! Discovering new foods and ways of cooking is a fun and a rewarding hobby of mine. So that’s why I’m excited to finally be able to introduce a new feature on Noel’s Kitchen Tips. I’ve been wanting to offer my readers and add to the Noel’s Family Meals membership for so long but never found one with features I liked or thought would be beneficial to busy families in helping make meal planning easier.

My recipe index is expanding and I finally have a new system for sharing meal plans, grocery lists, nutritional information and a place for my readers and members to store your favorite recipes. It’s extremely easy to use and I believe you’ll enjoy this new feature.

Say Hello To Say Mmm!

I’m happy to introduce I’ll be adding the meal planning service with tools on Say Mmm to help me in planning meals and sharing with you. With this feature, you’ll be able to organize your favorite recipes and shop easily for groceries. There’s many useful tools to help busy families like you, including the printable grocery list feature that is absolutely FREE!

Soon, you’ll be able to find a printable grocery list next to each recipe on my Recipe Index. You’ll notice that when you click on “print grocery list” beside the recipe you like you’ll be taken to the Say Mmm site where you can either edit the grocery list or print it off.  Even better, the fun doesn’t end there because once you have one recipe added you can keep adding recipes to it.  When you are done, you simply print the full list off and away you go to the grocery store. You even have the option to play around with the format or save your list for another time.  However if you do want to save your list you will need an account, otherwise you don’t.  It’s so easy to use and I’m thrilled to offer this menu planning feature to my readers.
