There is science behind how to make vegetables taste good. These techniques are included in every recipe so even your picky eaters will smile!
Are you constantly pulled between work, family, and a million activities, trying to get a healthy dinner on the table for your family?
It can feel overwhelming to be the one responsible for feeding your family healthy meals. Trust me – you are not alone. In fact, there are thousands of “meal plans” out there designed to help you solve this problem.
Maybe you’ve tried one of them before. Maybe it worked. But more likely – it probably didn’t.
But it’s not YOU that’s the problem.
It’s that there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all meal plan, just like there’s not a one-size-fits-all family or lifestyle.
This was the reason I created the Peas & Hoppy Meal Guides.
How will a Meal Guide work for my Family when other Meal Planning Services Have Failed?
Many people ask me how the Meal Guides will work when so many things they’ve tried haven’t. My answer is the meal guides are designed to be a flexible alternative to a rigid meal plan.
Recipes are clearly written with step-by-step instructions which make it easy to get kids involved and make beginner cooks feel confident in the kitchen
The reason most meal planning services don’t work is because they assume your family has a similar schedule, lifestyle, and food preferences – but the truth is only YOU know the foods your family likes, how much time you have, and what will work for your schedule.
Unless you sit down one-on-one with the nutritionist who is creating your meal plan (which is an option, too) – any “plan” someone tries to give you – or that you download off the Internet – will have to be adjusted for what works for your family.
How to Make a Meal Plan that works for your Family
When people are trying to find a solution to getting dinner on the table even on busy weekday nights, I often recommend to start with the Meal Planning in 15 Minutes Mini Course (bonus: it’s included in the Meal Guide Membership).
The course walks you step-by-step through creating your first meal plan and includes a week of recipes from the Meal Guides.
After taking the course, you’ll have a plan to get dinner on the table on busy weeknights. Instead of ordering emergency take-out at the last minute, you’ll save money in your food budget so you can spend it at your favorite restaurant for date night instead.
Learn to incorporate new foods without the fear of a recipe being bad – I personally test all the all recipes in my kitchen.
What Exactly is a Peas & Hoppy Meal Guide?
A Peas & Hoppy Meal Guide includes a weekly seasonal menu, a recipe packet with prep guides, and a grocery list that saves you time searching for recipes and leaves you feeling confident knowing the meals you’re feeding your family are giving them the nutrition they need.
After learning the process of meal planning, Meal Guide Members receive a new meal guide each week – complete with a recipe packet and grocery list. Meal Guides are planned around seasonal produce so you never get bored with what you’re eating, it’s less expensive at the grocery store, and (bonus!) you can support local farmers at the farmer’s market.
The weekly Meal Guide contains 4 cooked meals:
-
A slow-cooker meal (so dinner is ready when you get home)
-
A 30-minute meal (for busy weeknights)
-
A vegetarian meal (to help reduce your carbon footprint)
-
A “challenge” meal (to get you out of your comfort zone or to serve to company)
In addition, every week you receive TWO grab & go meal ideas (great for back-up plans and quick lunches), TWO breakfast yums (if you’re bored of cereal), and TWO snack inspirations (more than just veggies + ranch).
The weekly Meal Guide gives you inspiration and trusted, tested recipes. You use it to create a meal plan that works for your family.
