Good Morning Karsten, I'm having trouble accessing this weeks weekly meal plan. Any help would be appreciated.
Jim
Hi Jim! Here is the link for this week's meal plan: https://amindfullmom.com/meal-plan-38/
Looking forward to easy, economical, and healthy menus.
I am so excited for you to enjoy these meal plans! They are sent every Friday, but in the meantime, browse my archive of meal plans to get started. Have a great week.
I don't have n instant pot, can I use a slow cooker on recipes. Quite a few I'd like to try. Thank you.
Hi Michelle! On my meal plans, I often include slow cooker instructions for the Instant Pot recipes. I hope that helps 🙂
i want to sign up for the meal plans. how do i do it?
Hi Mary! There should be a form on the page to enter your name and email. If it is not there, it could be because you have already signed up. With your permission, I can add you to the email list. Just let me know 🙂
I love your recipes for my Instant Pot……and Air Fryer. Thank you.
Thanks so much, Ferne! I appreciate you!
looking forward to trying many of these dishes. I have a 14 year old
grand daughter that is a vegetarian its hard to cook for her. I've never
had to worry about this before.. What to make her that is healthy and
has the protein that a 14 year old needs to be healthy.
Hi Judy! That can be a struggle. Beans, quinoa, Greek yogurt, and tofu are all great meatless sources of protein.
Seems like my family is on a 2 week meal plan and then we start all over with it the next 2 weeks. I am ready to try some new ideas!
I know these plans will help! Enjoy!
