Easy to make, kid friendly, highly recommend
Every recipe I have made from this book is delicious. I am gluten free, my boys are nut free, and I have a picky eater so I am always hesitant about buying books and only being able to use a few recipes. These recipes are easy to adapt to our needs with our usual substitutions for nut butters and GF flour, there are even notes with suggestions to guide us.Because you are cooking the meals the day of it doesn’t create a lot of dishes and mess when prepping so it is easy to prep a lot of meals at once without feeling like I have to spend the rest of the week catching up on dishes.I have used the meals for food trains and gifts. The pages with the day of cooking instructions make it so easy to gift the frozen meal.This book is worth every penny. I highly recommend it to anyone who is busy and struggling to keep up with meals for your busy family.

Busy Momma Must Have
This made the first week back to school insanely easy – taking any of the mental load from a momma is always such a big help. Everything is laid out and takes the guess work out of our busy school nights.

Delicious, easy, and healthy
These recipes have been a game changer for me. I live when a chronic illness that limits me physically, so having meals ready to go in the freezer ensures that my family can still be fed well even if I’m having a hard day/week.Prepping these meals are so easy and fast too. Just dump the raw ingredients in a bag, label, and freeze.But also, they healthy and delicious. All of these recipes can be made gluten free and dairy free. (I have to avoid both)*highly recommend 😘🤌Some of the many favorites in our house are:Thai ChickenGeneral Tso’s ChickenMillion Dollar PastaFrench Dip with au jusChicken lettuce wraps

Meal Planning for an Entire Year! A must try
I had been looking at “A Year of Meal Plans on a Budget” and finally bought the digital version.I found a lot of the recipes are something close to what I already make but never thought of making the meals in a way Hannah has them set up. What a creative way to Meal Plan and I can’t wait to get our family set up with more than a week at a time. It’s a great guide to set up a any size family for figuring out Meal Plan. And for those that have already figured it out, it will also be great to use.

Creative Variety
Great for me as a post partum mom who also considers herself a bad cook. My husband loves the variety. He has a number of food restrictions but he can still eat most of the recipes. Beautiful pages and easy layout to read.

Reclaim the Dinner Hour!
This excellent, year-long raw freezer meal plan streamlines the often tedious meal planning, prepping, and cooking process to deliver a powerful combination of both time and money saving answers for any family! I have tried at least a dozen of these recipes so far. The recipes are healthy and delicious. They are easy to follow plans, yet still customizable. I use both my 6-quart slow cooker and 8-quart instant pot (or oven for sheet pan dinners) now more than my stovetop. Saves time, money, stress & even nightly dishes to have homemade meals ready to cook on demand!

Absolutely life changing! Ruuuuunnn don’t walk to purchase!
Busy mom reviewing from my husband’s Amazon-Don’t walk, RUUUUNN to purchase these recipes. Between 2 working parents and two young school aged children busy with tutoring and sports… these have been life saving. BEST of all.. my husband and I have been able to save so much money. Easy, fast prep for meals. I look forward to pulling out these prepped frozen meals after working with a minimum of 16 patients a day and still eating a home-cooked, healthy meal at the end of the day catching up with family. Thank you so much, Hannah!
