Dear smart & healthy meal planner,

Does your family meal time always seem to be in chaos?  What about the hassle of planning meals, shopping for the meals and then cooking the meal?  Or how about your grocery bill – do you end up spending more than you wanted every month?

If you’re at all like me, a working wife and mother, meal time can be a stressful and time consuming endeavor.  And if getting the meal on the table for a descent price isn’t enough, there is the health issue that factors in.  Attempting to provide healthy meals that won’t empty the pocketbook can be difficult to find!  Beyond that, I knew that I was missing out on time with my family.  For those with older children, I can feel that the stress of rushing home from work, connecting with kids, running errands or doing schoolwork, a quick meal (sometimes at home) and heading off to bed is too much!

If you can relate with how I was feeling...

...you may feel defeated in the grocery shopping/meal planning area!  You’re tired of not having a plan and settling for fast food or order-in pizza.  There is hope!  There is an alternative! 

I want to invite you to start eating healthier, as a family, with inexpensive meals!  Is this possible?  Yes!  I am here to tell you that it is!  Keep reading to find helpful information and a breakdown of meals, recipes, and shopping lists to help you save time, money, and health!
I have always loved grocery shopping, saving money, and meal planning.  Once I put that into a regular pattern, our lives have been more peaceful and less expensive!  I realize that meal planning is not something most people love…so, instead of watching you suffer through it, I have decided to make it super easy for you as well!  I want to invite you to start eating healthier, as a family, with inexpensive meals!  Is this possible?  Yes!  I am here to tell you that it is!

Our family (my husband, daughter and I) is able to eat at home every night of the month and not spend over $200/month on dinner – that’s under our budgeted amount!  And, we have stuff leftover if we want it for lunch!  I can be in and out of the grocery store in record time because everything is on my easy to navigate list and we eat healthier because of the meal options!  We’ve been doing this for the last 6 years!

When I first moved out on my own, and then got married, I took a nutrition class and started reading some nutritional books.  I also started making meal plans that worked within our very tight budget.  At the time I started, my husband and I were both taking classes and we lived on part time wages.  It became a game – figuring out the healthiest foods I could get for the price I needed.  I love it and want to share these skills with you so you too can eat healthier and stick to your grocery budget!

Finally, you can grocery shop on a limited budget, limited time, and with limited effort!  For all of you who hate meal planning, grocery shopping, list writing, finding recipes, and all the rest......
