The Best Way to Keep Your Family Healthy This Year

No matter what feeding challenges you face there is one key strategy to keeping your family healthy and well-fed this year. I’m sharing my number one tip…meal planning!No matter what feeding challenges you face there is one key strategy to keeping your family healthy and well-fed this year. I'm sharing my number one tip...meal planning!

When my son was two he was diagnosed with a myriad of food allergies. Feeding him became my new challenge.

Then when my youngest daughter was an infant she reacted to just about every single food I ate. Even harder.

Before I even had kids I went through my own journey of different diets to help my digestive issues.

Over the last fifteen years I’ve had so many different dietary restrictions to figure out and work around. In spite of that I’ve always had healthy, homemade food on the table for my family.

It never really mattered what foods we could and couldn’t eat. I can work around any food restriction. I like the challenge!

How to Keep Your Family Healthy

But there was one common solution to keeping my family healthy: meal planning.

That’s right. The best way to keep your family healthy this year is by meal planning.

As long as you plan ahead you can make good food choices. You can work around busy schedules and restricted diets. Even if it’s homemade chicken lunch meat sandwiches in the car between sports or a simple split pea soup you put in the crockpot at 6 am so dinner is ready when you get home from a busy day. Real food can take on many forms. But if you don’t plan ahead the packaged food and takeout meals will win.No matter what feeding challenges you face there is one key strategy to keeping your family healthy and well-fed this year. I'm sharing my number one tip...meal planning!

How to Meal Plan

There are varied strategies for meal planning. Some people plan a month at a time. Some do a week. Maybe you normally just figure out meals the night before. Some like variety while others rotate through a handful of family favorite meals. There are online meal planners and apps so you don’t have to do the work.

You can copy someone else’s meal plans too! I’ve got about five years of weekly menus on the blog.

It doesn’t really matter what meal planning method you use, as long as you actually use it!

My Meal Planning

Before I had kids I would plan meals one day ahead. And I hated it. The meal planning never ended! I had to do it every day.

As life got busier and we added in food allergies and special diets that method went out the window.

I now meal plan one week at a time, typically on Saturday. I base my meals on our schedules (when we might need a prep ahead meal or a quick clean up meal) and what food we have on hand. I find that if I try to plan farther ahead schedules change and I have to make adjustments anyway. So one week at a time works well for me.

My kids like to help too. They give input and I try to make it fit. I also try to plan meals they can help make.

Friday we always have breakfast for dinner. It’s good to do a fun night every week. My kids always look forward to Friday!

No matter how you do it, meal planning will help keep your family well-nourished. Plan a day ahead, a week ahead or even a month ahead. Cook daily or batch cook and stock the freezer. Make 30-minute meals or use your crockpot or Instant Pot. Find what works for you and stick with it!

We made it through the final birthday week of the year. It was a lot of fun celebrating my daughter’s third birthday with family. But now I’m ready to get back to normal life after travel and celebrations. I’m anxious to get into our regular school routine.

In the Kitchen

There is never a lull in kitchen work. Our tomatoes are coming fast and furious. That means it’s time for spaghetti sauce. I also have sauerkraut to can. I’ll be happy to get that out of the fridge and free up some space.

After all of last week’s work to get ready for the party I’m taking the day off today. We’re just eating leftovers. And a long nap is in order too!

Just a reminder that you have a few more days to help a family in need. If you sign up for the Kids Cook Real Food ecourse in August, a membership will be donated to a family in need. It’s a win-win!

It’s hard to believe summer is winding down. When you live on a farm, this is when everything is in full swing! So there is no slowing down.

Our garden is still producing about twice as much as we need every day. I’m doing my best to preserve, cook and give away. Last week we canned peaches and salsa and froze corn.

This week we shift focus a bit to party prep. I can’t believe my baby turns three tomorrow! We will celebrate as a family today and then have a party with extended family on Saturday.

Things are exciting on the farm. My husband has been working hard adding on to our swing set…that didn’t have swings! The kids are so excited.

Our chickens are also getting into full swing with egg production. We get three or four a day right now. We may have to start selling some soon. I’ve been enjoying all the double yolks!

Now it’s time to worship, celebrate and then get busy! Here is our real food meal plan for picky eaters. What’s on your menu?

We’re back from another family trip. We had a lot of fun, but it sure is good to be home again. Now it’s time to get focused on the farm and school work again…and something I’ve been dreading. My little one’s THIRD birthday!

Let’s Party!

It’s party time next week. So this week I’ll be baking and cleaning to get ready. Though I’m still not sure how it’s possible that she’s turning three. She is so independent, witty and even got her first staple in her head last week! At least she still likes to snuggle. And she won’t eat cake with frosting on it. I have to get creative for her birthday dessert.

In the kitchen, I’m switching gears from beans and zucchini (though those are still coming) to tomatoes, peppers and corn. That means it’s time to start canning spaghetti sauce, chili sauce and salsa and freezing corn. Plus peaches are in season!

This week's real food meal plan for picky eaters includes zucchini boats, taco bowls and meatballs. Plus all the produce you could ever want.

I had to wave the white flag. I was doing ok with the flow of produce until the second half of last week. But I couldn’t keep up with the steady stream of cucumbers, zucchini and beans. My fridge couldn’t hold any more…and I had to go grocery shopping!

So I did what a good steward does – I gave it away! We had family over last night, and we gifted them with lots of delicious veggies. We might bring some to church today to share too. For a few days I get to enjoy a cleaned out fridge.

Teaching Moment

It’s a good lesson for my kids – to share with others and not hoard things. We’re trying to to do the same with toys. Our house is just getting too full of “stuff.” I think we would all benefit from purging a bit (this article really helped spur this on!). Now I just need to find the time to actually do it! I want our house to be functional and to be a calm place for creativity. Not a place to always feel overwhelmed by our things. The daily crying and nagging about clean up has got to go!

I’m doing my best to balance rest and healing with keeping up with homeschooling and kitchen work. Some days I push myself a bit too hard. And that’s followed by a day of taking a lot of time to rest. But overall I’m seeing steady progress!

It’s Monday night. And I’m finally getting my menu up. We’ve been out of town visiting family…and working on one of my goals of resting and relaxing and healing. Mission accomplished!

Back to Work

Now it’s back to life as usual with the garden overflowing. Lots of preservation this week combined with school work, a trip to the library, grocery shopping, a playdate and Spanish camp. And I can’t forget about starting to prepare for another family trip. Never a dull moment.

But I’m doing my best to take time out to relax each day and making myself sleep in a little. It’s working. I’m seeing more and more signs of healing! God is good.

Have a great week. I hope you’re enjoying lots of delicious fresh food.

School is back in session!

We are officially kicking off our end-of-summer/start-of-school session Monday morning (after a busy week of camp and camping and new kittens!). I’ve been working hard to lesson plan and get the school room ready. The kids are beyond excited. It makes it so much more fun that my kids have such a passion for learning.

I’m back in the kitchen!

If I’m not in the school room you’ll most likely find me in the kitchen. The beans and zucchini are starting to pour in. Plus we have a full row of cabbage ready for picking. I’m going to be freezing, slicing, grating and making sauerkraut all day long I think!

At least I can actually cook this week. Last week I had to have a packed dinner or a crockpot dinner every night. I didn’t even have time during the day to deal with produce. I’m excited to start creating with it.

There is a chance we will do another round of blueberry picking as well. We need to restock the freezer.

I feel blessed this morning to have power after a crazy storm went through our area a couple days ago. Thankfully we were without power for less than 24 hours (and have a generator!). Some people still don’t have power yet.

Fresh Food!

We’re still enjoying lots of fresh produce from our garden like snap peas, lettuce, beets, broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage. It won’t be long before the beans are ready and I’ll be freezing them by the gallon.

We managed to work through all of our cherries last week. Just in time. This week it’s time for blueberry picking! Summer is so delicious!!

Along with all the kitchen work we have a busy week with my daughter going to camp (which means packing lunches) and the boys taking a camping trip. So meals will be a lot of easy, prep ahead foods. Plus lots of prep work for the camping food.

I’m in Planning Mode.

This is my school planning week. I’ve looked through all of the new curriculum. We went back-to-school shopping. Now it’s time to prepare supplies and start lesson planning for our first 4-week unit (our end of summer session) that begins next week! The kids are so excited to start. They are sad that I need time to plan.

Still Healing

I’m still working as hard as I can on healing – forcing myself to rest, take a break from exercise and sleep in some days. It may sound great, but it’s really not. I love to be active and feel energetic and productive.

Laying on the couch instead of walking is not much fun at all.

I’m not loving the struggle with body image and weight either. But I’m already seeing good signs of healing progress. So I’m pushing on. Once I’m farther along on the journey I’ll feel so much better and will be able to be much more active and get fit. But I have to do the hard work first of resting. Exercising is the easy (and LAST) part of the process! God is faithful. He will guide me through this.

Happy 4th of July!

It’s hard to believe it’s July already. Didn’t summer just start?

Maybe it’s the fact that I’m gearing up to start lesson planning for the new school year this week that it feels like summer is about over already. We actually are all excited to get started. But I do have some work to do yet. At least we got the school room cleaned.

I Live in the Kitchen

I’ve been in the kitchen a LOT lately. It seems like every summer I forget just how much work it is to preserve food for the winter. But every winter I am so thankful I put in the effort. It saves so much money, and we get amazing produce year round.

We’re still eating salads with just about every meal and snacking on fresh snap peas. I love all the beets too.

Yesterday I made pickled beets for the first time…and started canning! I don’t usually get the canner out until closer to September. But this year I want to try canning more. So no time like the present.

We’re planning to go cherry picking this week. That means time to freeze cherries and make a few goodies.

I’ve also been getting back into the habit of making kefir and yogurt now that we have plenty of fresh, raw milk. One more money saver!

Back to Allergies

Sadly we have one kid that doesn’t get to enjoy it. My son is still having on and off stomach aches and allergic reactions (complaining about his throat being scratchy…that scares me). So we’re still trying to pinpoint offenders or if it’s just an overall stomach issue. For now he’s off of dairy and eggs. And possibly seeds as well. So closer to an AIP diet. Although he still seems ok with some beans.

I’m trying to make sure we’re adding broth to our meals this week to help with the healing process. And I have to make sure I have safe sources of protein for my son. With dairy, eggs and seeds cut out that doesn’t leave a whole lot of easy breakfast foods.

Healing Myself

Did I mention I’m also still working on healing for myself and trying to squeeze in rest whenever possible? Is that possible? I’ve been working from the couch many days instead of from the treadmill. It’s HARD to make myself rest. But I know it will speed up the process and get me back to doing more and having more energy faster. So I’m trying. I guess a holiday week is as good a time as any to take it easy.

Here is our real food meal plan for picky eaters this week. I hope you have a great holiday (if you’re in the US) and enjoy some good food!
