Meal Plan Monday: September 17–30

By Kelly · 4 Comments

FEATURED RECIPE: Happy, Happy Ice Cream Cake is one of our favorite ways to celebrate a happy occasion. (This month’s it’s my hubby’s 45th birthday!)

One of my favorite ministries is serving as the Meal Planning Contributor for The Better Mom, where I share my bi-weekly real food meal plans as a way to help inspire and encourage others. Each bi-weekly meal plan includes what’s on the menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as links to more than 40 of the delicious real food recipes featured.

Why is this called “Meal Plan Monday,” when it’s posted on Saturday?
I thought it would be nice to give you the heads-up about what’s on the menu for the week ahead. That way, you have time to take advantage of incorporating some (or all) of the meals featured, if you’d like. Remember: To view the recipe links for each of the meal plans below, please pop on over to The Better Mom.

So … without further ado … here’s what’s on the menu for the next two weeks at
The Nourishing Home:

P.S.  I’ve provided free links, so you can download the new Meal Plan Template for your own personal use.

P.S.S. If you’d like to learn more about meal planning, please check out “Mastering Meal Planning.”

Joyfully Serving Him, Kelly

    Hi! I love your meal plan ideas. I was wondering if you could share, about how much it would cost to put these meals together. Love your blog, btw!

      Hi, Darlene. I’m so glad to hear you’re enjoying my weekly meal plans! I don’t share dollar figures because they are not a good gauge since grocery prices depend on where you live and where you shop. For example, I belong to a great co-op called Azure Standard, that makes eating healthier much more affordable and I buy in bulk which also reduces costs. In addition, we opt to not eat out at all, except a 2-3 times of month at most, which frees up more budget for purchasing whole foods. Also, due to my health issues, eating healthy is essential and has saved us hundreds of dollars in medications and doctors’ visits, praise be to God for bringing me into remission from my illnesses. Instead, what I recommend is that each family make a plan based on their budget and then find ways to cut costs by incorporating some tried-n-true methods for cost savings. Here are two posts that discuss this. I hope these help you, as they have so many others, in creating a food budget and weekly meal plans that meet your family’s budget and health goals. Blessings, Kelly
