What’s for dinner?
I used to hate that question. Either I hadn’t planned anything or I had planned to make something new, but then thought better of it. I knew that new recipe would take extra time and I didn’t have the energy. I ended up serving junk food far too often.
This pattern became a drain on my time, my pocket book, and my family’s health. I tried many cookbooks and meal plans, but ended up dreading the “What’s for dinner?” question anyway. That’s when I quit trying to be a nutritionist and chef, and put my degree in psychology to work.
What kind of meal plan would work long-term?
By studying my own behavior (and my family’s, too), I knew I needed to ask myself a different question. Rather than what was for dinner on any given day, I wanted to know what kind of meal plan would allow me to:
- save time
- save money
- improve my family’s health
- be flexible
- enjoy making new recipes
- share cooking responsibilities
- be fearless when faced with “What’s for dinner?”
I discovered a plan that can work for anyone.
I was only trying to solve my own problem, but realized that the solution I had could work for anyone. Like so many solutions, it’s simple and common sense. I wrote the Once-and-for-All Meal Plan to encourage homemakers to try it and experience the benefits of knowing what’s for dinner (and breakfast, lunch, and snacks, too!). It’s free for subscribers to the Psychowith6 mailing list. Want to know more? My friend, Deb, did a great write-up of what you can expect from the book and this blog on Counting My Blessings. If you’re ready to subscribe, you’ll receive your meal plan ebook that you can read on any computer or mobile device after you confirm your email. I’d love to hear what you think!
I subscribed and tried to download the book on my iPad. Do you know how to save it on the iPad? It opens differently than things normally do (I usually just have to click ‘save in iBooks’ or something, but there’s no option on there for that). Thanks for any help you can give. I’m not very computer (or iPad) savvy. 🙂 And thanks for the book! I’m excited to read it as I still haven’t gotten the hang of any kind of meal planning.
This link explains how to save PDFs to iBooks that aren’t attached to an email. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4227 If you are a subscriber who wants me to send you the book as an attachment that can be opened in iBooks, I can also do that. Just email me at psychowith6 [at] gmail [dot] com. Hope you enjoy the book, Tara! Let me know how it goes.
my way to solve that problem is to check out Sonic and Red Lobster’s menu!! lol
