It’s a New Year and I’ve got some exciting new changes in store for you.
I may be taking a break from blogging here at The Nourishing Home in order to pursue full-time ministry as a church admin, but I still provide free monthly meal plans over at The Better Mom blog. Each week’s meal plan contains delicious family-friendly GF recipes utilizing a time-saving method to make getting a healthy dinner on the table a snap! I highly recommend you pop over to The Better Mom and download these free meal plans.
My hope is that these free tools will be a great resource and encouragement for you whether you’re just getting started with meal planning, or are a seasoned expert.
Joyfully Serving HIM, Kelly at The Nourishing Home
Kelly you are truly such a blessing! The new meal plan format rocks and I love it! I appreciate all of the time and hard work you put into doing this. I assume if we are already a subscriber we will receive the shopping lists-is that correct? Thanks again so much!
Yes, Mindy and I have to apologize because I had meant for the meal plan to come to you all (subscriber-friends) BEFORE it went live here and at TBM site. But I messed up. You will get an email from me today (Jan 4) with the new Shopping List and Prep Day Instructions. Thanks for your kind words and patience. Blessings, Kelly 🙂
LOVE!!! I’ve been loving your meal plans for about a month or so now, but now, NOW, oh bless you for the links. You just saved me 30 mins! And I need that 30 minutes… 😉 You rock!
You ROCK! Thanks for your sweet words of encouragement! I’m so happy you’re finding the new resources to be a blessing. 🙂
The new format is so beautiful, and SO functional! Great job Kelly! I’m looking forward to sharing with my readers today. 🙂 Big hugs!
Thank you, sweet friend! You are beyond a blessing to me! 🙂
Hello! I’m new to your site- actually just stumbled upon it and I’m really looking forward to using your meal plans. Quick question: I noticed on the January 6-12 meal plan, you start with a Sunday. But the 6th of Jan is a Monday. Wondering about that? Same with the next 13th-19th. The 13th is a Monday, but you’re starting with Sunday. Thanks!
Amanda, your eagle eyes are awesome. Thank you for taking the time to leave me a kind note. Yep, I made a boo-boo! Originally, I had my meal plans running Mon-Sun. But I when I made the new format, I changed to Sun-Sat but forgot to change the dates. Oops! So you are correct, the dates are off. I’ll go back and adjust the dates, so I don’t make this error the next time around. Thanks again for your kind note. Blessings, Kelly 🙂
Oh my goodness, this is so amazing! I’ve been trying to follow your plans for a while now and this will make it so much easier! Not that it was difficult before, just lots of new recipes for me. You are wonderful, thank you thank you thank you!
You are so welcome! Thank you for taking the time to leave a kind, encouraging note. What a blessing you are! 🙂 Kelly
I have no words! (and that in itself is a miracle!) I have been manually adding your meals to your blank menu template and adding the links myself as well as trying to paste all of the separate recipe ingredients into excel & then trying to consolidate each ingredient so it was only listed one time for my shopping list…..as you can probably guess, I am new to meal planning and this was taking me hours and my hubby was really questioning the value of meal planning/cooking from scratch when all of it was taking me so much time. I am SO GRATEFUL to you! I was already so grateful, but now it is like 100 fold! THANK YOU!! You are such a blessing and I will be remembering you in my prayers for a long time to come!
Oh my goodness girl! You are a true-blue meal planner! I am so glad to make this a lot easier for you, although I think you more than anyone now have a good understanding of what it takes to put these meal plans together. LOL! Thank you for your loyalty and for taking the time to leave such a kind note! You really blessed me today! With much appreciation, Kelly 🙂
Kelly, this is an amazing site. I just stumbled across it when I googled meal planning about a week ago and you do an amazing job 🙂 I literally started thinking about meal planning to save money on our grocery bill each month, so thank you for putting up free meal plans. You have so many great resources & links, & now I’m looking into real foods with a visit to a farm at the weekend. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts & I am super excited about meal planning & our family food from here on in. Thank you for all your hard work, you are amazing 🙂
Welcome to The Nourishing Home, Hannah! I’m so glad the Lord led you here. It’s a joy to share meal plans and inspiration. I’m so glad your finding this site helpful to you as you start your meal planning journey! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a kind, encouraging note. Blessings to you, Kelly 🙂
I look forward to getting started!
Terrific, Angel! 🙂 Best wishes in your meal planning ventures!
My hubby and I have been wanting to get our food budget under control and have a meal plan that I just didn’t know how to get the whole thing together, esp with our background coming from two completely different cultures – we don’t like eating the same things. All that to say, it’s another blog, but this system will help with planning and I love that you share the info for free which is truly a blessing. I’m going to try a few things and share with my family so we can agree on meals in order to do purchases and then stick to that budget. Thanks Kelly! I’m so thankful that the Lord allowed me to fall upon thebettermom site and now your site!
Welcome to The Nourishing Home, Monica! So happy the Lord has led you here and that you’re finding this site to be a source of inspiration, encouragement and blessing. Appreciate you taking the time to leave a kind note. Blessings to you and your family, Kelly 🙂
