Spend Less and Eat Better using a Meal Plan - Cooking at Home

  • The hardest part about cooking dinner is figuring out what to make and it's every single day. My mom, Liz, is the original Food Nanny. She established The Food Nanny books to "rescue" dinner from tired and discouraged parents and would-be cooks.
    She created a 2 week meal plan which is the perfect plan for creating a well stocked kitchen. With this plan, you can easily prepare two weeks of dinner with very few trips to the grocery store.
    It saves you money and time and really helps your family come together around the dinner plan so that everyone is a part of it. It takes the complication of dinner out the door. It helps your kids to feel excited about a delicious dinner that evening.
    We hope you'll try this in your own home! Let us know how it goes!
    xoxo

    FAQ: IS KAMUT® FLOUR GLUTEN FREE?
    Kamut® flour is NOT gluten-free, but has often been found to affect people differently than typical flour gluten. Some studies have shown that Kamut® flour and products might be more digestible for people who experience symptoms of gluten intolerance.
    DISCLAIMER:
    The Food Nanny DOES NOT claim Kamut® flour is okay for people with gluten intolerance issues or Celiac disease. Many customers with one or the other have commented that the gluten in Kamut® flour does not affect them. Individual results may vary.

    My mom always cooked and had a well stocked pantry and freezer to the best they could afford. We helped in cooking and clean up. We didn’t have an “eat out” option. When I was married in 1985 my husband promised if I cooked he’d always do the dishes. And he has continued to do so almost 40 years later
    💜💕💜

    With a very stressful job, kids in activities and just life, I have found solace in making dinner for my family. I put on my headphones and chop, dice, and sauté the stresses away. 😊 I used to make all the excuses in the world to not cook and get takeout but, I gained a lot of weight and was in the worst health of my life. Learning to love cooking for my family taught me healthier and more sustainable habits. It tastes so much better too!

    • @thefoodnanny
      @thefoodnanny  Місяць тому +1

      So true, right?! Even with a busy life, cooking our own meals helps us be healthier and unwind. It's okay if we make it simple. The time together is what matters most! Thank you!!

    Yes, I've loved this from the very start! I've meal planned for a long time thinking I had it and would get frustrated because I'd get stuck. Then I got the OG FN book and loved how the meal planning was done and have followed it since. Even my teens and young 20's kids use and follow it. Thank you for creating this and teaching us. ❤

    Many thanks for all of your posts across UA-cam, Instagram, and the fantastic recipes posted on The Food Nanny website. While I haven't quite got the meal planning down for our household of two, I'm working on it! Of course, that includes ordering all the FN tools and cookbooks to make it lots more fun in the kitchen! My husband recognizes your voice now when I'm watching your videos and also recognizes your shipments. 😂 It's safe to say he loves eating every FN and Kamut recipe I've followed. He also supports all the FN bling in our kitchen. Now, if I'd just put the kitchen to bed every night! 🤭 Thanks again, Lizi and Liz and all of your wonderful family. @qndmabry (Deborah)

    Yes! I totally agree! I also do a 2 week meal plan! I have all of your and your mom recipe books and we adore them! They are so easy to use and for whatever reason, they leave me with calm, instead of feeling overwhelmed. So thank you so very much! I'll forever say the chicken tacos are my go to for dinner! They are extra special! @stylinbigsky

    AMEN! Meeting the OG Food Nanny, getting her cookbook, learning the meal planning changed my life. Changed everything for my family. I share this cookbook with all my favorite peeps and tell them how this changed my life. All these years later there are still so many of the recipes I have never made. I am so glad you are making more videos of these recipes. Get one for every family you know, this book and plan makes it so easy for everyone!

    Hi! This is so helpful, thank you for sharing your wisdom on this! 💛 Im trying to get better with planning for my family,and I’m wondering about meal planning for breakfast and lunch as well. Do you have any tips for planning breakfast and lunch for the week in addition to the dinner meal planning?
    Thank you! 💛

    • @thefoodnanny
      @thefoodnanny  Місяць тому

      You got this! One thing that helps for breakfast is that on weekdays, we have the same breakfast almost every day. It gets us all out the door faster and I know what to stick and prep. Weekends, we pitch in together on favorite breakfasts depending on how much time we have.
