Putting Dinner on the Table: A Monthly Meal Planning Strategy to Save Your Sanity and Your Budget

Are you tired of the endless cycle of rushing through the grocery store, coming up short for ingredients for a meal, and using take out or delivery as your dinner fall back plan? Do you have great intentions to plan ahead and find yourself running out of food way quicker than you thought possible? Does your fridge's crisper drawer seem to always end up being where produce goes to die? I can help. Let me show you how to meal plan once a month, shop an average of 2-3 times a month, cook meals from scratch using a combination of fresh, frozen, and shelf stable ingredients, and maintain control over the budget and stress level as it relates to providing food for your family. This book will prove to you that putting dinner on the table is not only possible but preferable! Why a monthly meal plan, rather than shopping weekly and making dinner on the fly? The why is simple: save money, reduce stress, and make meeting your nutrition/lifestyle goals easier. My strategy is simple and accessible - whether you're a college student on your own for the first time or a seasoned cook trying to refocus the family dinner effort, this book is for you! Start turning these pages to learn once and for all how to plan ahead and shop smart to make putting dinner on the table a low stress and high reward event!
