Is there a monthly grocery list available.
Hi Ellen, Unfortunately there is currently not a grocery list available. It is something that we are working on including in the coming months. Can I get your opinion on whether you would like the grocery list for the entire month or broken out into a weekly list?
Thanks, Doug
Hi Ellen, We are excited to let you know that we have the shopping list ready for the weekly menu plan.
You can learn more about it on menu planning page.
Happy Cooking!
I would like a month long grocery list. Other may like just a week. Maybe you could do both. It’s hard to guess how much chicken/beef/pork you will need for the month.
Also are theses recipies for 4 or 6?
