Planning for success.
Let’s face it life is busy and most of the time we plan to just get things done and dinner on the table before we have to be here, there and everywhere.
Stress no more, because I have found the answer to our meal planning dilemmas. And the answer will save you time and money.
I am going to let you in on a little secret.
I never used to meal plan and our grocery bill used to be over $1000 a month for a family of three.
Then I found this amazing once a month meal program. And their program met our dietary needs. I could choose paleo meals, gluten free meals, dairy free meals and more.
They took the stress out of meal planning and meal prep with freezer cooking. No more overwhelm!

What is the secret to successful meal planning?
A plan that saves you time and money. Correct?!
Yes, because you have better things to do with your time than slave over a hot stove cooking a four course meal for dinner.
Schedule yourself some time to plan and time to cook. Start with an hour and pick a few meals your family truly enjoys.
Grab a few friends and prepare a few meals with a side of coffee and conversation. Things are always easier and faster with more hands.

Setting yourself up for success.
Meal planning and freezer cooking is not a stroll in the park and does require some time and planning. But it is so worth it.
Imagine getting home from a long day at work and dinner is ready for you all you have to do is dump it in the Instant Pot and enjoy. No stress, no messing around, simple yummy family meals.
Yes, this is a reality!
Now, you could come up with a list of recipes you enjoy. Create your grocery shopping list and plan all your meals on your own. It can be done.
But why spend all that extra time when a meal planning program can do all of that for you with thousands of recipes to choose from.
Remember when I said I had found a meal planning program that saves me time and money. Once a Month Meals has a menu type that fits your needs.

It takes a village to raise a child and sometimes we all need a bit of help in the kitchen. The Once a Month Meals community is a place where we can support each other and share our meal time and meal planning experiences.
For example say I really like a recipe in the Instant Pot plan but I need to substitute a few items for dietary reasons. The Once a Month Meals community is there with ideas and support.
Because the whole goal is to make meal time less stressful and more enjoyable.
Have an amazing day,
