Cook by the seasons with
seasonal produce
Use seasonal produce whenever possible to save money and increase nutrients in food.
I have a rotating seasonal menu that changes each season and
that is based on the produce that is inexpensive and available
during that season.

What people say…“The menu plan itself, it is a HUGE timesaver and a no-brainer for me. I work full time and have two kids that are going in opposite directions. The menu plans give me a springboard for my entire week, I can layout the menus for the days that I want and work our breakfast and lunch right around it.” -Carrie
“I would say that it will save me around $15/week…not buying random veggies in hopes i remember what I’m going to make them with. Even if we only drop one meal out every two weeks, the service will have paid for itself.” -Shannon
“I have no clue about the seasons of foods either so having someone else help me follow a seasonal menu is great! I figure we’re saving about $25 a week.” –The Martin Family
