Have you ever been frustrated over what to make for dinner?

Are you tired of hearing your family say,

“Not again, we had that last week!”

I think we all know that planning meals ahead saves time and money. It saves time because we need not think about what to make for dinner or if we have the necessary ingredients. It saves money because we haveaplan which means no last minute trips to the market or the nearest fast food drive thru. Most importantly, planning our meals ahead will help us improve our family’s health. If we’re eating well balanced meals, we’ll feel better and have more energy.

This is what Jaime Ussher’s e-Book, A Month of Meals, is all about.

Jaime’s introduction: Does your family meal time always seem to be in chaos? What about the hassle of planning meals, shopping for the meals and then cooking the meal? Or how about your grocery bill – do you end up spending more than you wanted every month? If you’re at all like me, a working wife and mother, meal time can be a stressful and time consuming endeavor. And, if getting the meal on the table for a descent price isn’t enough, there is the health issue that factors in. Attempting to provide healthy meals that won’t empty the pocketbook can be difficult to find! Beyond that, personally, I felt that I was missing out on time with my family. For those of you with older children, I wonder if the stress of rushing home from work, connecting with kids, running errands or doing schoolwork, getting a quick meal (sometimes at home) and heading off to bed just feels like too much! If you can relate withhow I was feeling, you may feel defeated in the grocery shopping/meal planning area! You’re tired of not having a plan and settling for fast food or order-in pizza. There is hope! There is an alternative! I want to invite you to start eating healthier, as a family, withinexpensivemeals! Is this possible? Yes! I am here to tell you that it is! Keep reading to find helpful information and a breakdown of meals, recipes, and shopping lists to help you save time, money, and health!

In a Month of Meals, Jaime has already done all time consuming planning for us. She’s planned well balanced nutritious meals for a month. She provides all the recipes, the shopping list and even the average prices for all the items on the list. Okay, so take a moment to figure out exactly how much time Jaime has saved you. I loathe going to the market (keep in mind, I loathe any type of shopping) because I’ve spend as many as three hours walking the aisles. I’m not exaggerating!

“A Month of Meals” has it all. Everything I need. I’m saving time and money and I simply cannot ask for anything more!

A month of Meals  is available for purchase for only $19.95 and it comes with an 8 week money back guarantee.

This is what our members have to say:

A Mama’s Rant: I was impressed with how A Month of Meals was different from other once a month cooking type meal plans. First, Jaime shows you how eating healthy meals is actually cheaper by analyzing costs and taking into account where you live, and if you can buy local and seasonal produce. Then she goes to cover the weekly meal plan recipes, including sides and dessert, and grocery staples. This is followed by the section on how to shop and analyze what you’re spending on meals. The cost analysis portion was very well done and worth doing on any meal you make from scratch. You’d be amazed how truly inexpensive it is to cook simple, healthful meals.

The Home Schooled Year: Are you looking for a way to get a handle on your grocery budget (who isn’t?), an easy to follow meal plan WITH recipe cards, and a new way to break down what nutrients your family needs on a daily basis? A Month of Meals provides a great jumping off point for all of that! The recipes were easy to follow, easy to prepare, and mixed and matched ingredients so you don’t end up with 100 different items on your shopping list, or going bad in your fridge.

Mom of 2 Dancers: This ebook, is a huge 71 pages with11 chapters! It is full to the brim with information, tips, meal ideas, recipes, how to shop with price breakdowns, staples to keep in the house, food pyramid, info on feeding the hungry, website resources and recipe cards. This book is amazing. Not only will you save money on your groceries by implementing these ideas, you will also be eating healthy. You can’t go wrong with that combo.

An Island Review: One of our family’s favorite recipes was the Vegetable Chowder. I make a mean Corn Chowder myself but I liked the idea of adding in other vegetables, too. It’s a great way to get my girls to eat healthy without even realizing it. However, for me the best part were the reciepes that I could make ahead of time and freeze. Since I’m not always home and DH does not cook, these came in really handy. All he had to do was defrost and heat. Easy! Plus, this way I know my girls are getting a good home cooked meal in the process.

Loving Heart Mommy: You can save, you can be flexible, and best yet you can have fun. I really enjoyed reading A Month of Meals and applying it to my family. We are actually spending less, making more meals, and just re-heating alot of them later on! It saves us time and money! A Monthof Meals is very informative and fun!

Pink Family Reviews: I really enjoyed this ebook. I am a huge fan of meal planning. I also do not like to feed my family the same thing over and over. As a result, some times the hardest part of cooking is figuring out what to make. “A Month of Meals” takes all the guess work out of that for me. The shopping lists even make grocery shopping easier. I work full time outside the home, so I like recipes that are easy and quick. The recipes in “A Month of Meals” fulfill these requirements and taste good. Some recipes can even be made ahead and frozen.

My Trendy Tykes: I have a few friends that spend an entire day cooking meals for the whole month. I just don’t have the time to devote to an entire month like that right now but I did manage to snag some great new recipes for my family this month and ideas for plenty next month. Most of the recipes only call for a few ingredients and I loved the fact that they didn’t need any fancy “schmancy” ingredients (I tend to skip recipes like that, don’t you??)

Lisa Reviews: If you are a busy mom like me, you tend to struggle come dinner time.  I know I do.  If you don’t plan ahead, you never seem to have the right ingredients and you end up ordering out (which costs so much more!).  The Month of Meals e-book has some awesome advice to get yourself out of that rut.  This book will help you stay home every night and not spend over $200 in groceries on dinner.

Jaime has graciously donated one A Month of Meals e-book for one lucky reader.

    First of all GREAT website!

    My favorite thing about the book is the shopping lists. My boyfriend and I are poor college students… we often live of ramen, but get distracted in the store and buy bad junk. Having a list all set out with the things I need for the meals.. It just can’t get any better!

    THANK YOU!

  39. Marie N says:

    I am always looking for healthy meals for my son who is a diabetic and developed kidney failure last year. Diet has become ever to important for his sake and as his primary care giver for me too. Because if my health deteriorates who would care for him since I’m divorced and my husband hasn’t had contact with my son for the past 15 years.

  40. sandra says:

    i like that it’ll save us money and time (and i’ll have to cook less!)

  41. Brenda Hopkins says:

    I think it would save time, money and all resources to plan for a month of meals! I could buy specific ingredients, possibly in bulk, reducing my carbon footprint by tons. I could also fill my freezer with meals in advance and cook what my revolving (college and high school) family might like on a given evening.
