I found recipes 1-5 on the awesome website,ย http://newleafwellness.biz.ย This site has tons of healthy crockpot freezer meals with beautiful photos of the food. They also offer many different crockpot cookbooks for a small fee. It’s run by a wife and husband team who have four kids so they know how to make things that are both delicious and simple.
Recipes 6-10 were found on another great site, whatvegankidseat.com. This blog was especially useful for us when we decided to go vegetarian at home. It’s easy for my husband and I to find vegan meals we like, but tougher to find things our kids will eat. The site is under construction right now, but the link above will take you to many more recipes.
The final four recipes came from the site, onceamonthmeals.com. These recipes were four out of 101 that were listed on just this post alone, so you can imagine how many more recipes they have to offer. The entire site is dedicated to helping subscribers shop, prep and cook meals for an entire month. In addition, for $16/month, they’ll provide the Grocery Shopping List, Prep Instructions, step-by-step Cooking Day Instructions, individual Recipe Cards, printable Labels, and Thaw Sheets for each monthly menu. There are over 600 menus to choose from. This sounds like a pretty sweet deal for busy parents.
With these three sites in our sights, (ugh, sorry for the cheesiness!), we’re well on our way to mastering the art of monthly meals. My husband and I worked together and it took us just under three hours to prep all 14 meals. We listened to music and there was a lot of singing (husband) and dancing (me). I hope you try monthly cooking and have fun with it, or at least as much fun as you can have while cooking.
