A Year of Real Meals includes over 170 real food recipes (breakfast, lunch/dinner, and dessert), with full-color photos, nutrition information, detailed instructions, prep notes, and optional ingredient substitutions. 

You’ll also receive four complete weekly meal plans (one per season), accompanied by a corresponding grocery list. Everything is organized by season so you’ll know right where to look at any time of the year.

A Year of Real Meals is designed to help anyone who wants to eat healthy, unprocessed foods at home to easily cook delicious meals—without doing any of the tedious work of meal planning or grocery-list making! 

It is probably not right for anyone who prefers to eat only pre-packaged convenience foods, or has no desire to cook at home.

With more than 170 recipes , A Year of Real Meals can accommodate most diets. Many recipes are already gluten-free, dairy free, or low-carb, and all can be easily modified to suit your unique dietary needs.

Nearly all of the recipes call for regular pantry staples, commonly found meats, fresh produce, herbs/spices, etc.—all of which are readily available at most mainstream grocery stores. On occasion, if an ingredient is used which is harder to find, substitution ideas are provided in the notes section of each recipe.

A variety of cooking methods are used: stovetop, oven, slow cooker, or grill. Frequently, you’ll see notes on variations (how to bake the dish instead of cooking in a skillet). At this time, A Year of Real Meals does not include any pressure cooker recipes.

This is not a physical book. It is a digital product, and will be delivered to you in PDF format. You’ll have access to all recipes, meal plans, and grocery lists on all your devices! 

If desired, you can print any or all of the pages and recipes you need. Some customers like to create their own 3-ring binder to keep in their kitchen for easy reference while cooking.
