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.

Wishing you and your family a very Merry CHRISTmas and an especially Happy New Year!

Joyfully Serving Him, Kelly

Made with Love Granola Gifts: Special Guest Post!

By Kelly · Leave a Comment

I’m honored to be a special guest over at Keeper of the Home today sharing a couple of my all-time favorite Granola Gift Giving Ideas.

It’s no secret that a special Christmas tradition of ours is to give “made-with-love” gifts to our neighbors, friends and family. There are so many reasons why we adore this tradition, but in a nutshell, we believe it’s such a thoughtful act of love to make a gift by hand for another.

And one of my favorites homemade gifts at Christmastime is healthy homemade granola! Why? Because everyone just adores it (eagerly asking about its arrival), and for me personally, I love the way it fills our home with its sweet cinnamony scent as it’s baking.

So if you’re looking for a couple of beautiful, thoughtful and delicious gift ideas featuring everyone’s favorite – healthy homemade granola – then please join me over at Keeper of the Home today!

Heartfelt wishes to you and your family for a very blessed CHRISTmas!

Joyfully Serving HIM, Kelly

P.S. If you’ve never ventured over to Keeper of the Home, you’re in for a real treat! Stephanie is such an inspiring woman of God who strives to encourage women to thrive as ‘keepers of the home.’ So I encourage you to pop over and pay her a visit, as I know you’ll find her to be a real blessing!
