Has anyone ever used www.menus4moms to plan weekly dinner menus? I overheard some women at the market discussing it. I checked out the site, still not sure if I want to try it. Have you ever tried any other menu planning site or software? I'm in a menu rut and looking for a way out.

I've never used anything like that. I just go through the recipes I have in Mastercook and pick out what sounds good for my 2 week menu. I check my pantry/fridge for items I already have and try to pick recipes with those items. Then I make a shopping list of what I don't have.
I get emails from allrecipes.com every day or so. If it has something that sounds good I'll go check it out and add it to Mastercook. Sometimes I go to allrecipes.com and use the ingredient search function. I'll put ingredients in that I have and see what recipes it spits out. I've found a lot of new menu items that way.

peapie

the above link accidentally omitted the .com so it did not work.

Here is the correct link:
Weekly dinner menus | Home organization helps | Menus 4 Moms

It looks interesting and I will have to give it a try.

I do the same as peapie, but I use Shop'NCook Menu. It has most of the same features of Mastercook, but is just easier to me to use. I do own Mastercook, but just couldn't get into using it.
I also subscribe to yahoo and cafemom groups and copy recipes that look good to try as I recieve them.

I plan my menus around what I have on hand and what is going on sale, so I don't think a set menu would work for our family. It would be good for getting ideas though
