Customized meal planning support
Solid meal planning skills can take you from dreading the kitchen to having easy and healthy options to grab for any meal of the day. This doesn’t require gourmet culinary mastery, nor are we talking about making everything from scratch!
Whether you love to cook or cook because you have to, a customized simple plan for feeding yourself and your family in the midst of your busy schedule is worth a million! I have designed an consistent, affordable means to do just that! It is virtual, simple, customized and spoon fed to you for reliable delicious meals each week. Take a peek at the options below . . .
What's the trick? How do I stop being overwhelmed?
There's no trick. There's no mystery . . . you just need a game plan! You need a strategy that helps you think a few steps ahead with reliable results and a blueprint for getting food on the table quickly.
But how?
You can get the support in real time of a chef and a nutritionist who understands your limitations in the kitchen. One who can shape meals based on allergens and specialized diets, and who can also teach you the art of meal planning with a whole foods pantry.
How does that sound?
Customized Meal Planning Support Packages
My virtual meal planning service offers customized meal plans that suit you and/or your family's dietary needs. Whether it's allergen restrictions, weight loss goals, blood pressure and cholesterol reduction, diabetes, IBS/IBD, GERD, or simply shifting away from processed foods, this is learning the art and skill of meal planning at your level, for your diet, around your schedule.
Through weekly, personalized lists of recipes to choose from you will learn:
- How and what to prep in advance for easy weekday meals - breakfast, lunch and/or dinner.
- How to build a pantry of valuable everyday basics.
- How to shop for the right mix of fresh produce that will keep.
- How to make the best use of your time in the kitchen.
- How to make meals on the fly by cooking from your pantry.
End the cycle of ordering out and depending on frozen meals! Bring fresh, simple, delicious, affordable homemade food to your table that you have the tools to assemble. Begin packing a lunch for work, eating breakfast from home, and enjoying a fridge stocked with food that makes you feel good. In the process, you will save money and boost your health without a lot of time spent in your kitchen. A truly important win-win!
Don't just take my word for it . . .
You can see from my client Penny's experience below that she's no longer flying by the seat of her pants because . . .
Her pantry is stocked.
Her preparation for meals is focused and thoughtful.
Her confidence in the kitchen affords her an intuitive ease that eliminates the overwhelm she had before.
“ Thanks to Nancy ...
1) Fully stocked: I am beyond thrilled and constantly amazed by my awesome pantry. Seriously, I can get a hint of a new recipe and pretty much execute with buying minimal groceries. I can’t believe I didn’t have this resource before. Top ten? Fire Roasted tomatoes, black beans, fixins for your granola recipe, wild rice, brown rice, black rice, all the various types of cooking oil (especially coconut).
2) Planning: setting a goal for breakfast, lunch and dinners for the week. I have a recipe planning, shopping and execution plan in my calendar on my phone. And a weekly calendar magnet on the fridge. I enjoy it! I’m a planner. We generally eat out Wednesday’s and Saturdays now. It’s nice to know that’s our schedule. All the planning saves times and money.
3) Confidence: I threw together an Italian wedding soup last night using store bought ikea meatballs. It was so random. I never could have done this on the fly. And putting together a menu, it’s almost 2nd nature now. I make a carrot /sweet potato purée that my 2 yr old loves. All stuff I never thought would happen! ”
