The school year is here and hectic evenings are upon us. From kids activities and evening plans to working late two nights a week it is imperative that I plan ahead. I can’t just wing it like I used to be able to. Plus, my boys aren’t super keen on bagged lunches so ensuring they get a yummy and nutritious dinner in is priority #1.
I’ve written before about my love for the Shopping with Chicken App and every time I use it I seriously wonder what I did before it entered my life. There was a lot more forgotten ingredients on my shopping list!
To get started, download the app (available for IOS and Android). Then create a Chicken.ca account or login in Facebook.
Browse the app and create shopping lists.
Use Chicken.ca recipes to inspire your weekly meal plans and add missing ingredients to your shopping list.
Head to your favourite grocery store and use the app to ensure you’ve picked up the items you need. Plus! The app allows you to share lists with other people – perfect for family menu planning. The app will alert you when someone has added an item or when they’ve crossed it off the list.
Once you’ve got them in your shopping cart just cross the item off your list.
Check out and head home to create kitchen magic. Get excited for the new web interface which allows you to add items on your computer and it automatically syncs to your phone. Awesome.

I really like that this app offers you all the nutritional info in one place. I hope they make one that we can use here in the US!

We eat a ton of chicken so learning new ways to cook and prepare it is key for our family. I love that easy to use shopping list too!

This sounds like a great app and what a great giveaway. I will try to make it to the Twitter party.
I love any app that makes my life easier and ANYTHING that can help with meal planning is AWESOME in my book! (Also – looking forward to the twitter party)

Loved that there are recipes and nutritional info. Helps me make healthy choices! Thanks :)
This is such a great app. I love that you can cross things off once you put it in the cart. Some apps don’t let you do that and it’s frustrating.
This is the coolest app ever! You pick your dishes, what you’ll need… It pretty much does it all for you.

That sounds like a fantastic app! I am going to look into this for sure.
This app is awesome! It would be so handy for someone like me.
This sounds like a really useful app for ingredient shopping. I love cooking with chicken and grilling is my favorite.
What a useful app. I am going to download it and use it the next time I am getting ready to shop for the week.

THat’s all about all we eat in our household…chicken. This app will come in handy.
Chicken is always an easy one for my family. My little picky eaters are pretty daring when it comes to chicken. But I need to mix it up. Looks like there are great recipes on the app.

Who doesn’t need inspiration now and then? This app sounds like it’s full of great features, like the shopping list.

I most defnitely have to check this out. Now that school has started, I’m looking for ways to make life easier.
My children LOVE chicken and request it almost every night! I tend to make a chicken dish twice a week so this is very useful!
We eat quite a bit of chicken so having a handy app like this would be welcomed. I wonder if their is a similar US based one.

I love apps that make healthy eating easier! I will have to check this out!
I love trying new shopping apps. I will have to give this one a try and see what i think. It sounds like a nice and easy one to use.
It looks really user friendly. We raise chickens and eat it a lot, so new recipes like this app offers is great. I like that it crosses off your list too, very cool.
I’ve been looking for more ways to incorporate chicken meals in our rotation. Looks like a great app for new ideas

I just wanted to give you a heads up that I tried to confirm my blog comment entry in the contest app above but it won’t let me submit to open new entry options.
My favourite feature is the recipes – They really help with inspiration when I’m stuck for ideas!
I can’t wait to get in on this Twitter party! This is a super cool app.
