Welcome—please feel free to join and participate! Possible topics:

any recipes that have worked well for you, that haven't worked so well, or that you want to try
links to good sources for meal-planning, recipes, or cooking on a budget
any other resources for meal-planning that you think are helpful
introductory posts about yourself, your meal-planning needs, dietary restrictions, etc.

In general, though, this is all pretty open-ended; post it if feels relevant, and have fun!
