Where to Go for Help with Menu Planning
To reduce your entertaining anxiety, turn to the following sites for assistance with your menu planning. Most allow you to select a meal type such as poultry, vegetarian, etc. Some allow you to specify cooking time, and others permit you to list the ingredients in your pantry, then put together a menu requiring little or no extra shopping. Finally, if you do need to buy ingredients, many sites put together a shopping list for you once you've selected among their recipes.
