I’m so excited to share something I’ve been working on behind the scenes for a while now … a new book! While this book includes some recipes like the others, it’s not just a regular cookbook—it is a spiral-bound Meal Planner Workbook that’s hitting store shelves on December 29th!!

Along with twenty one-dish dinner recipes, this workbook is complete with all the instructions and blank templates you’ll need to follow my personal meal planning system (that has taken me years to perfect)! It will walk you through each task, step-by-step, so you can make real food meals a regular part of your routine. It even includes two laminated menu planners for your fridge!

And it’s already available for preorder! Can you tell I’m excited?!

Reserve your copy now through any of these retailers … this helps my publisher know how many to print and will also guarantee you get the best price.

I’m going to work on a fun preorder bonus for anyone who puts in their order now (or anytime before the end of December)—I’m thinking about a free dinner plan with recipes? Or, if you have any other ideas, let me know in the comments below! No matter when you preorder you’ll be able to get the bonus. All you’ll need to do is hold on to your order number. More on that soon, so be on the lookout (or subscribe to my newsletter here)!

Workbook Highlights: The Super Helpful Templates

I honestly can’t wait to get the first copy of this workbook to use it for myself! I currently have to use a conglomerate of different sticky notes, notepads, and papers, but with this new book, it’ll all be in one place and so easy to use! 

I’m so excited to share with you the templates that’ll be included (I worked so hard on these!).

TWO LAMINATED TEMPLATES (for your fridge!)
Located in the front pocket of the workbook…

  • Laminated School Lunch Packing Chart
  • Laminated Final Dinner Menu Template (so everyone always knows what’s for dinner!)

All you’ll need is a dry erase marker and you’ll be ready to go with these.

A YEAR’S WORTH OF WEEKLY PERFORATED TEMPLATES
These are located inside the workbook right after the instructions on how to use and adopt this meal planning system…

  • 52 Blank Weekly Templates for Menu Planning
  • 52 Blank Weekly Supermarket Templates (organized by store department)

This is what the year’s worth of blank Weekly Templates will look like and how they’ll work. The little icons coordinate with any instructions in the text so that you can easily cross-reference what to do and when!

Since this is a spiral-bound workbook that you’ll actually write in and use, it does not have the full color photos like my other books. So—since I am personally a fan of recipe photos!—I decided to include them here for you, which means you’ll also get a big ol’ sneak peak of all the recipes that’ll be in this new book! :)

There will be twenty recipes and they are all One-Dish Dinners. Okay, who’s getting hungry?

I can’t wait to get my hands on the first physical copy of this Meal Planner myself later this fall, and I’ll definitely show you what it looks like when I do! 

But, in the meantime, you can secure your copy (and help retailers know how many of these workbooks to have on hand) by preordering yours below. I hope you love this one as much as I do, and thanks so much for your support!
