Hi Kristen,I’ve just found your site,it looks great,lot’s of useful info.I have signed up for the meal planer and look forward to seeing much more useful information.Many Thanks, Mike (,from Great Britain)
Hi Mike! So happy to have you here! Your first meal plan will come on Friday!
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
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.
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.
Hi, I LOVED your recipe for sheet pan chicken fajitas. it was chicken, peppers, red onions and a fabulous rub. Unfortunately, i cannot find that recipe. please help - It is GREAT!!!
thanks.
I am so sorry Joan, but I never had a recipe like that on my site. I wish I could help!
Hi - is this where we sign up for the free menu planning? I thought I did but I’m confused - please advise - thank you! 😊
Hi Jo Anne! I just confirmed you are subscribed and your first meal plan was delivered yesterday. Check your inbox 🙂
Received❣️Thank you😊
YAY!
Thank you so much for what you are doing to help familie in this difficult time.
God Bless YOU!
You are so welcome! I am blessed to be able to help!
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!!!
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!
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
