For years, I’ve been meal planning for myself and my private Health
Coaching
clients.
And I’ve run four widely-successful meal plan courses in the past, and when I saw those mummas
thrive, I knew
I was on to something.
So I started thinking, what's the one thing we all love to use at Winter but just don't enough? SLOW COOKERS!!! I must admit I was hesitant too. I found all the recipes I was looking at were a base of tinned tomatoes and a herb. They all came out tasting the same. So I started writing my own recipes and having my kids try them.
They LOVED them and I loved that I could whack dinner on in the morning and lose the mental load I was carrying most days of 'What's for dinner, when am I going to pop to the shops, will the kids eat what hubby and I are going to?
Seriously, cooking this way is less stressful.
You could start each week with a sense of calm, feeling like you have everything you need to
make a week’s worth of healthy meals for your family – that they will all actually
like
You had a qualified health & nutrition coach on hand plus a supportive group of
other mummas encouraging you to create yummy, simple meals each day – keeping you on track and
motivated
Your fussy eaters loved the healthy meals you made and happily devoured every last
bite!
Nikolette —
Stopped cooking different meals & her fussy kids loved it
Louise —
Is vegetarian & her kids eat meat. Her fussy kids loved the food.
Jo — Loved
how simple
the meals were to cook and that most
ingredients were in her pantry already. She’s done the course twice already!
Gemma —
Used the free
Facebook group for lots of ideas and
motivation. She’s cooking easier now.
4-nights a week: We’re going to be munching on a little meat with
stacks of veggies
1-night a week: You'll be enjoying a fish dish
1-night a week: We’re going to have a full vegetarian meal.
Now, don't be thinking it's going to be Slow Cooker slop every night. Nope. Sometimes the hero of the dish will be made in the Slow Cooker, like a meatloaf and you'll make a salad for the side. Other nights I'll show you how to roast herby veggies in the Slow Cooker all day so you can cook a quick bit of fish and have them altogether.
If you’ve got intolerance or even just specific pallets, don’t fear. I have tweaks on
every recipe, so
you can easily make it vegetarian, egg-free, gluten-free, dairy-free — or
whatever-your-family-needs-free.
Q. Are these recipes different from your other meal plans, Stace?
Yep, 90% are new. I had to include a few old favouirtes, but even those have a new twist on them
Q. My kids are fussy, will this work for them?
I reckon it will. These meals are wholesome, easy to make family food dishes. I’ll be giving you
loads of
tips on how to overcome fussy eating, and you can have a live Q & A with me every week - so come
along
with your questions and I’ll help you.
Q. Do you cater for vegetarians?
Absolutely, I provide tweaks for every meal.
Q. I’ve got some intolerances, will the meal plan still work?
It sure will. Like all my recipe cookbooks I have every allergy possible catered for and I know
exactly
how you can tweak the recipes to make them work for you. You’ll find the majority of them are
gluten-free, and many are egg and dairy free too.
Q. I’ve got a truckload of kids, how many does this meal plan feed?
This plan feeds 2-3 kids and 2 adults. But, you’ll notice many of the recipes make enough for
lunch/leftovers, so you might just have enough for your bigger lot. If you don’t like that idea you
can
always double the recipe, or cut the quantity in half if you have a smaller tribe.
Q. Couldn’t I just meal plan myself?
You sure can! But motivation, kindness and little-old-Stace popping up in your inbox, is going to
keep
you on track. If this course sets you up for years of meal planning with ease, then girl, that’s
money
well spent.
Q. How long am I going to be in the kitchen each night? This mumma works.
I hear you – that's the beauty of slow cooking. Most meals will go in the slow cooker in the morning and be ready when you walk through the door.
Q. How many days of the week do you cover?
All seven. Why? Because I am showing you how to use up your leftovers. Meals will stretch that far. Of course, though, you don't have to cook EVERY meal, but I reckon you'll want to, they are VERY YUMMY!
Q. Will I be able to get the ingredients at my local stores?
Real food is easy to find – it’s not in the middle aisles of the supermarket – it’s at the fruit and
veg
shop, at your great local butcher, and occasionally, in the health food section at that supermarket
you
used to visit every aisle of.
Q. Hubby often cooks, can he handle your recipes?
100%. 100%. If he can click a button or two to turn on the slow cooker, he's perfect! (You already knew that though - ha)
Q. When do you send recipes on? I like to shop before the weekend hits.
Go girl! Thursday is the day. You’ll wake to the recipes in your inbox on a Thursday for the week
starting on the following Monday.
Q .Will it be worth the money, like really worth it?
YOU WILL SAVE MONEY. It’s the truth. When you plan, you save. You don’t buy things you don’t need,
food
doesn’t go to waste and the ingredients are a cinch to find.
