Easy Meal Planning for Busy Moms
Meal planning seems to be my most time consuming daily effort and I just found a way to make it way easier for all busy Moms! Introducing eMeals!!! I feel like I just had an ah-ha moment when I learned just how easy eMeals is! This isn’t just a regular meal planning service either. This is a mean planning service with busy Moms in mind! You can choose the meal plan you want and eMeals will also include a grocery shopping list!
How would you like to be given a list of your favorite food types with a meal plan for the whole week. Just think of the time it would save you! Planning is the hardest part. Picking up the groceries is no biggy but deciding what to buy is. How many times have you planned out a meal only to be halfway done with your recipe to realize you forgot something from the store. Oh man, I can so relate to this. I’ve been using eMeals for a few months now and I’ve come to rely on it. I get a weekly email with a pdf download of my meal choice. It even includes my shopping list. All I have to do is go through my cupboard or pantry to make sure I don’t already have some of those ingredients. It’s a fail proof plan and I like it!
Now I get to spend more time with my family and still have a wholesome, healthy home cooked meal!
I finally feel as though I quit working harder and started working smarter! Honest to goodness truth! Girl Scouts promise (as I hold my three fingers high)!

I want to give you a glimpse at just how easy this is. I printed my weekly recipe (remember they send me recipes based on my preferences when I signed up). I printed off the recipes and the shopping list.
I headed to the store for my weekly visit to purchase my items. Then I started baking.
I opted to make the Sausage Cornbread bake but I omitted the sausage. That’s the beauty of this. You can do what you want with the recipes. My daughter prefers to have her meats segregated from her cornbread and I was easy to honor her requests. Anyone else have a child who does this?
Look at how easy this is. We combined the ingredients. Sprayed a baking pan with cooking spray and baked it. Easy right?!
Here’s a printable version of the Sausage Cornbread Bake Recipe by eMeals:
Easy Sausage Cornbread Bake Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground sausage
- 1 large onion chopped
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 1/2 cup self-rising cornmeal we love Jiffy
- 15 oz can of cream style corn
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Optional: Served with a side salad and dressing
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Grease a 2 quart baking dish and set aside.
- In a skillet, cook the sausage and onions until the sausage is browned; drain well.
- In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, cornmeal, corn, milk and oil. Mix it well.
- Pour half of the cornbread mixture into a prepared dish.
- Sprinkle with sausage mixture and cheese.
- Bake 30 to 40 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
- Optional: I choose to leave out the sausage and substitute it for 1 cup of sour cream and I mixed it in.

Usually we have very little or no left overs for this meal. Everyone goes back for seconds. Yeah, it’s that good! I like it with sausage or without too!
Here’s an example of what the shopping list looks like. I choose to shop at Walmart under the Classic meal plan (we switch between this meal plan and the clean eating plan). It gives me the price and the amount of ingredients I need and it saves me money!
