HIghlighted ingredients correspond with recipes...genius!
Okay, I'll go first in the meal planning talk category. One really cool feature that I discovered early on is that when your shopping list is up on the screen and the week's menu is below, if you click on an ingredient, the corresponding recipe will be highlighted in yellow. That is a fabulous feature and just one of those things that makes this site great.
By the way, for those of you just starting out, I'm on my third month of menu planning and our grocery bills are starting to drop. So if you're wondering if you're going to save money, most likely you will. My problem was always going to the store for one or two ingredients and leaving with $30 worth of things I "need".

also genius is the way that items you have bought recently that you keep in your 'pantry' on the RH side of the shopping list tell you the date they ere last bought! How clever is that? I am loving PTE and it is really helping me; I always tried to meal plan before, but could never get going... Thank you!

How does it know when you last bought it? Do you have to use the mobile phone digital shopping list to make that work? Just wondering. Thanks! I'm loving my free trial!
