Relish! Online Menu Planning GIVEAWAY

February 20, 2009

:: THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED. CLICK HERE TO SEE IF WE HAVE A NEW GIVEAWAY ON BBA.

We’re giving away a ONE YEAR SUBSCRIPTION TO RELISH! along with a gift from Crate and Barrel to one lucky BBA reader. See the details at the end of this post.

A fellow baby blog addict and friend, Danielle, kept updating her facebook status with amazing dinners she was cooking for her family. One day it was, “Danielle is cooking Deconstructed Lasagna with Mushrooms, Spinach and Turkey Italian Sausage.” Another day was “Almond Crusted Chicken Fingers with Honey Mustard Sauce” and yet another was “Peanut Noodles and Sesame Asparagus”. YUM! You should see the comments she gets. Everyone wants to move in with her.

I thought she needed to start a blog with all these recipes, but she confessed that the secret to her amazing dinners is a menu planning service called relish! at relishrelish.com. When I asked how she likes it, she said, “We are still doing it and we love it! The food is always soooo good. I am obsessed with a single weekly shopping trip with an organized list. I think you will love it.”

Relish! touts itself as putting an end to agonizing trips to the grocery store and 5:00 stare-downs with the fridge…something I’m all too familiar with. You choose your weekly recipes (you pick five out of fifteen choices), the grocery list is tabulated, shop once a week and have all of the ingredients needed for five meals.

There’s even a Dime and Dash category offering menus that are easier on the wallet, kid-friendly options, low cal and vegetarian. They also offer a gluten-free site (gfreecuisine.com). A 3-month subscription is $21.00, 6 months is $35.70 and 1 year is $58.80. That’s as little as 16 cents per day.

We are trying out Relish! in our own household, so I’ll give you an update in the next couple of weeks to let you know how its working for our family.
Here’s how to enter our giveaway for a 1-Year Relish! Subscription plus a gift from Crate and Barrel:

1) Go to the Relish!

2) Earn one entry by leaving a comment on this post telling us what you like best about the service after visiting their site.

3) Earn one extra entry by becoming a BBA Follower in our left column and letting us know in a separate comment. If you are already a follower, you can still earn an extra entry by just letting us know in a separate comment. Make sure we have your contact info (email or blog address) in your blogger profile or comment itself, so we can contact you if you win.

4) This giveaway ends: Thursday, 2/26 at 8:00 PM ET. We’ll select a random winner then post their name here on BBA and email them after the contest ends. Good luck!

I love that they make grocery shopping so organized. I would save money by having such a comprehensive list and by only going to the store once a week!

the convenience of getting great ideas for dinners and especially ones that are quick

I love that it is less than $95 a week….and it would save me so much time trying to plan out our meals for the week.

I love the combination of convenience and personal choice. Some of these meal planners only give you 1 or 2 choices. But Relish gives you so many combos it is great!

I LOVE the way it’s so easily personalized – you can choose your menu AND method of cooking. I use my crockpot a LOT, so this is terrific!

I love all the extras that are included. Makes ALL cooking easier, not just everyday meals.

I love that there are so many options. My children tend to be a little picky and I’m not stuck with 5 recipes like some of the other sites out there.

Allie February 26, 2009 at 5:02 pm

I love the many options you have to pick from!

E February 26, 2009 at 6:30 pm

What is NOT to love about this?!?! I have 3 kids under 5 and could really use some help streamlining my meal planning–plus there are so many options that there is no way I could get tired of it! What a neat idea

I just signed up as a follower and I put your button on my blog!

Love that all dinners are kitchen-tested & takes 30 mins or less prep. Awesome!

Brittney February 26, 2009 at 9:49 pm

This is a dream come true. I would love to win! Almost all my problems would be solved! THANKS!!

Lisa j February 26, 2009 at 10:24 pm

I love this site. It looks great….and the choices look yummy. I would love to give it a try!

Sandra K321 February 27, 2009 at 12:20 am

I need things that are quick to get ready since we are always coming or going so I appreciate dinners that only take 30 minutes.
