A Years Worth of Meals at Your Fingertips

I can help you plan a year’s worth of meals tailored to your preferences, pantry items, dietary restrictions, and budget. It would be helpful to have the following information to create a personalized meal plan:

1. Pantry Inventory: A list of staple items you currently have (spices, grains, canned goods, etc.). You don't need an entire room to have a good pantry!

2. Fridge & Freezer Inventory: Common items like proteins, vegetables, or frozen goods.

3. Dietary Preferences & Restrictions: Foods you love, avoid, or any allergies.

4. Budget Preferences: Your desired budget per meal or week.

5. Stores Nearby: You can factor in local availability and common sales. Be sure to make good use of Farmer's Markets or seasonal foods.

6. Meal Style: Types of meals you prefer (comfort food, international cuisine, quick meals, etc.).

7. Frequency: How many meals per day or week, and whether leftovers are part of the plan.

8. Special Equipment: Do you have a slow cooker, air fryer, etc.?

Once you provide these details, I can create a customized plan with recipes, shopping lists, and tips to stretch your budget and save time. You can also let me know if you’d prefer seasonal ideas to take advantage of fresh produce or sales cycles.

You can also sit down with a simple calendar, or I love to use a teachers Calendar and do the same exact thing. Planning meals with your own recipes ensures that you know your family will love what you are serving them.
