Why Meal Plans?
Meal planning not only saves you time and money, but I learned quickly The key to cutting back on processed foods is planning ahead! If you don’t at least know what you’re going to have for your next meal, you’ll likely end up starving and driving through in desperation.
Benefits of Meal Planning:
- save time – Look at you, so organized! When you have plans, you can go to the grocery store just once a week and always have an answer to “what’s for dinner.”
- relieve pressure – With planned recipes and ingredients on hand, there are fewer surprises and you might just get a little help in the kitchen.
- eat better – It’s easier to enjoy a variety of delicious, healthy meals and discover some new favorites when you take the time to plan ahead.
- save money – Buy only what you need and waste less food.
Meal Planning Resources
I’m not going to lie, while I loved the results, planning our meals was a chore for me no Looking forward to each week. So, to make things easier for you (and myself, lol!), I’ve worked hard to create these resources:
- Meal planning guides and easy recipes from all three of my bestselling Real Food cookbooks.
- The full meal planning system in my meal planning workbook (I use my personal copy every week!) plus 52 weeks of blank templates.
- I’ve partnered with Real Plans to create a weekly customizable meal plan based on your family’s preferences based on my 400+ real food recipes (+ 1,000+ others) in one convenient app, complete with shopping list.
- Free weekly dinner plans, pictured below (Fill out the form and I’ll send them to your inbox weekly).
