MEAL PLANNING
We have all heard that meal planning is the key to getting dinner on the table with less stress.
But it is a lot of work.
Let me do that work for you!
I have been creating meal plans for decades. In fact, that is why I started this blog. I had been sending out my meal plans to my close friends and extended family and they wanted a place to find my recipes.
And now, I am here to offer YOU the same time-saving, money-saving, family-approved meal plans!
FREE HEALTHY MEAL PLANS
Best news--I am offering these meal plans to you for FREE!!!
Because it is my goal to help families of all shapes and sizes sit down to a wholesome, delicious meal--without stress!
Things to know about my Family-Friendly Meal Plans
- They will be tried and true and have been given the picky eater seal of approval.
- Meal plans will be made with a budget in mind.
- Meal plans will utilize similar ingredients for the week to minimize cost and food waste.
- Meal plans use seasonal ingredients to cut back on food costs (and for better-tasting meals!)
- No recipe will have hydrogenated oils, high fructose syrup, or MSG.
- Every recipe will be made with whole foods and from mostly scratch (occasionally I will take a shortcut like store-bought salsa or an organic pie crust.)

Hi Kristen I'm from the UK and just found your channel as I have been gifted an Instant pot and was looking for some easy to follow instructions. I couldn't have found a better channel thank you so much. I have Crohn's disease and I am always looking for good wholesome meals and you have certainly hit the spot. I'm looking forward to getting your Healthy meal plans and being more confident using my instant pot. By the way I am 71 years old and am still not to old to learn .
Kristen Chidsey
Hi Elaine! No one is ever too old to learn. Without growth, life is pretty boring. I hope these meal plans help. Sending you hugs.
Margie
Can I access previous weeks menus, I have missed a few.
Kristen Chidsey
Hi Margie! The meal plans are not saved here, as they take up too much space. However, I can send you a few if you would like. Just let me know how many you would like 🙂
Nicole
Hello love your recipes. How do I sign up for your meal plans?
Kristen Chidsey
Thank you, Nicole! There is a box at the bottom of the post that has a place to enter your name and email address.
Sarah Smith
Hi! Do you keep your meal plans on your website? Or is the only way to access them through email? Thank you!
Kristen Chidsey
Hi Sarah! The only way to access them at this time is via email. Each week is a 4-page PDF print-out. It is much easier and more informative that way 🙂
Julie
I have recently been diagnosed with stage 3 chronic kidney disease. Your recipes and suggested alternative ingredients, along with the nutritional values is making my meals so much tastier and easier to figure out. Thank you so much for all the work you do.

Hello Kristen, cooking has always been a challenge for me. I have been watching your videos using the instant pot and it give me courage. I purchase the 6qt instant pot ultra and finally started cooking real food. You are a great teacher, can't wait to get you meal plans. Thanks for the confidence!!
Kristen Chidsey
I am so happy to hear that my videos have helped you feel more confident when it comes to cooking!
Lillie
Still waiting for the meal plan. This could be my fault since I am OLD and not very skilled on my IPAD. THANK YOU
Kristen Chidsey
Hi Lillie! You may want to check your junk email. My email provider shows the meal plan sent to you this morning but it was not open. It is possible it went to your junk folder.
Here is this week's if you need it: https://ckarchive.com/b/v8u3hrhx4v23m 🙂
Rasha

Very helpful and easy
Thank you
Kristen Chidsey
You are so very welcome Rasha! I hope you enjoy the meal plans as well.
Caitlin
I have absolutely LOVED having your meal plans sent to my inbox each week for the last few years! I print off the weekly menu, along with the corresponding recipes, and BAM! My whole year of meals is planned. It has been a life saver, particularly on those weeks when I utterly lack cooking inspiration. I just need to flip open my binder and the guess work is entirely taken care of. The recipes are so easily adaptable too. Thank you so much for offering these. I can't believe it's free. I tell all my friends about them!
Kristen Chidsey
This makes my day, Caitlin! I absolutely love helping others!
