Evernote Pro-Tip: Grocery Lists

Evernote is great for making quick lists.

I keep 2 to-do lists, one for work and one for home.

I’ve also moved my grocery/shopping list from Wunderlist to Evernote. It’s just syncs better and feels more flexible if I need to add notes or links to specific items.

But what makes tracking grocery lists in Evernote even more amazing, is using it with the Grocerytrip app for iOS.

Grocerytrip scans your Evernote notes for a pre-determined tag and then adds items from grocery list notes or even ingredients from recipes you store in Evernote — and then sorts them automatically in the app.

So rather than copying and pasting ingredients from multiple places,I simply tag my regular grocery list and recipes I plan to use for the week and let Grocerytrip take care of the rest.

Evernote Tip – File your recipes for easy access

Evernote tip: Store your recipes in the app – either with the web clipper, typing them or just snapping a photo of them (and let Evernote’s image recognition take care of the rest). When you’re needing inspiration, it’s super easy to search by ingredient, title or even tags like “grill” “vegetarian” etc…

Weekly menu (1.24.10)

Last week we were pretty far off when it came to sticking to our menu. Various things came up in the evening that changed our plans — but we still managed to avoid eating out the majority of the week.

So, without further rambling — here’s our weekly menu for this week..

Weekly menu (1.18.10)

Setting our our weekly menu in advance has been a God-send this year. Sure it takes a little time on the weekend (or Monday morning) but it saves us so much time later in the week trying to figure out what to cook. It’s also helping us save money because we’re less likely to get frustrated, give up and go out to eat when nothing comes to mind.

So here’s this week’s menu…

Monday Dinner
Spaghetti

Tuesday Dinner
Flautas and beans

Wednesday Dinner
Crockpot Chicken Tacos

Thursday Dinner
Meatballs and Rice

Friday Dinner
Beef Lasagna (prepackaged mix)

Saturday Dinner:
Small group

So what are you having for dinner this week?

Use this as a challenge to come up with your own menu and then share it with the rest of us.

Weekly menu (1.10.10)

A day late and it looks like this week will be fairly light on leftovers (which means bring on the sandwiches for lunch). We expect to be getting home later than normal on Tuesday night for sure – thus the quick and easy corn dogs.

Monday Dinner
Tacos (ground beef)

Tuesday Dinner
Corny Dogs

Wednesday Dinner
Pot Roast and Mashed Potatoes

Thursday Dinner
Frozen Pizza
Corn

Friday Dinner
Dinner with friends

Saturday Dinner
Small group

And for those of you who are interested, we’ve found a couple keepers over the last two weeks.

Southwestern Turkey Chili (a lot like Taco Soup)

And

Beefy Cheesy Pasta (similar to the boxed meat and pasta meals without the dry cheese/seasoning package)

So what are you planning to eat this week?
