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!

Because it is my goal to help families of all shapes and sizes sit down to a wholesome, delicious meal--without stress!

Ronda
Hello Kristen,
I like the posts you share for "Instant Pot" recipes. However, I own a regular electric pressure cooker that doesn't come with all the fancy button options. Is it possible for you to mention the cook time/pressure level for those of us who do it manually?
On behalf of your followers, THANK YOU, for taking the time to post recipes for us to try.
Best,
Ronda
Kristen Chidsey
Hi Ronda! Great feedback! I never use fancy preset buttons--only manual on high pressure 🙂 Hopefully that helps!
