MEAL PLANNING
We have all heard that meal planning is the key to getting dinner on the table with less stress.
But it is a lot of work.
Let me do that work for you!
I have been creating meal plans for decades. In fact, that is why I started this blog. I had been sending out my meal plans to my close friends and extended family and they wanted a place to find my recipes.
And now, I am here to offer YOU the same time-saving, money-saving, family approved meal plans!
FREE HEALTHY MEAL PLANS
Best news--I am offering these meal plans to you for FREE!!!
Because it is my goal to help families of all shapes and sizes sit down to a wholesome, delicious meal--without stress!
Things to know about my Family-Friendly Meal Plans
- They will be tried and true and have been given the picky eater seal of approval.
- Meal plans will be made with a budget in mind.
- Meal plans will utilize similar ingredients for the week to minimize cost and food waste.
- Meal plans use seasonal ingredients to cut back on food cost (and for better tasting meals!)
- No recipe will have hydrogenated oils, high fructose syrup, or MSG.
- Every recipe will be made with whole foods and from mostly scratch (occasionally I will take a short-cut like store-bought salsa or an organic pie crust.)

How can I save your meal plans and recipes. I print so many of your recipes and have reams of paper. There has to be a better way to save on computer
Kristen Chidsey
Hi Catherine! I am so glad you enjoy my recipes so much! You can hit print on the recipe and then instead of selecting the printer to print to under the tab labeled "destination" select save as a PDF. You can also just bookmark the recipe.

When I opened the newest meal plan, I wondered if you had looked into my fridge and pantry. I have sweet potatoes that need to be used, and two big bunches of broccoli. I have a pork roast in the freezer, and although no brussels sprouts, I do have two heads of cabbage. While I won't totally follow your menu, the recipes that you've provided are definitely going onto my meal plan for this week.
Two comments:
1) In the e-mail that delivers the menu, I was looking for a link to your website. I finally realized that the logo at the top of the mail was a link. You might consider just a "Visit my website for even more recipes" kind of link.
2) Now that I'm on the website, I can't find a way to search. The word "search" appears in the top banner, but it's in a dark font that just about blends in with the background and it's not an active link.
I really appreciate receiving your weekly menus and the other e-mails that arrive from time to time.
Kristen Chidsey
Hi Elsi! Thank you so much for your insight on my emails and site. I am undergoing a redesign right now and the search bar is HIGH on my list to make more user friendly. I will be sure it is activated until then though--that should not be an issue.
Joan Becker

I never learned to meal plan (nor really to cook) until I had kids. Now I've been struggling with just finding a routine let alone eating/cooking and finding time to work out (I'm a single mom with no help). Over the last 3 years now I've gained 80+pounds due to eating out and lack of exercise! I've been dieing (literally) for this help for my kids and I!!!
Kristen Chidsey
I am SO SO happy you found these meal plans. I can't wait to help you and your family enjoy healthy, easy meals and save you money! Take care Nicky!
Hawley S, Barrett
i have not ben able to get your meal plans. I seem to get others things on my computer, so I don't think it is my computer. Maybe you deleted my name from your list of people who want your meal plans. Please put me back on your list.
thank. you

Hi Kristen
This sounds like fun! I have a husband and 7 children to cook for. I've been meal planning for several years, but always open to new ideas to try!
We are market farmers, so we have lots of vegetables and many varieties, but I find summer the most challenging for cooking. We are just so busy working outside! I hope you include lots of veggies!

Hi Lois! I am so glad you found my meal plans! I have to say I wish you lived closer to share some vegetables with me--I have a black thumb. But I still love veggie heavy dishes. I hope you find many here to enjoy!
