E- Mealz {giveaway}

i love the crazy days of summer. 
play dates
playing at the park
swimming in the pool
playing in the sprinkler
days spent at the water park
and the list goes on and on

after being gone for most of the day the last thing on my mind is dinner.
even though i am pretty conscientious about meal planning i have been feeling like i was in a bit of a rut.
eating the same things each month without much variety.
the lack of variety has lead to a lack of motivation to cook.

since its summer i want quick, easy, and family friendly.
enter in e-mealz.

e-mealz provides a weekly menu with a grocery list.  you can pick from a variety of meal plans based on the number of people in your family, specific dietary needs, and even a specific grocery store.

e-mealz has provided me with new recipes and variety for our family.
i don't know if i will use e-mealz for many years or not but right now it has been a wonderful vehicle to provide quick, easy, and new family friendly recipes.  
there are a few meals we have tried that have become new family favorites and will make an appearance in our meal plan rotation.
i have really enjoyed not having to put too much effort into meal planning and preparation during the summer.
the best part is e-mealz fits our budget and is dave ramsey approved!

today is my birthday and i want to give my readers {those of you still sticking around through this drought of blogging brought on by the crazy days of summer} a little something to make your life a bit easier.... a 6 month subscription to e-mealz.
to enter for your chance to win go check out e-mealz and leave me a comment telling me what meal plan your family would use and what is your favorite easy summer meal.
for extra entries blog it, tweet it, facebook it! 

winner will be drawn on monday july 11th.
