Does this sound familiar?

•  "Mom, What's for dinner?"
•  "My pantry is full; why can't I figure out what to feed my family?"
•  "There's nothing to eat in here!"
•  "This mustard has an expiration date of 1989!"

Then perhaps Brook Noel's 14 Day Meal Planning Workshop can help you bring organization to the dinner hour.

In this course, you will:

• Learn how to stock your pantry.
•  Develop standard menus made from staple foods so you always have the ingredients on hand to create an "easy meal"
• Learn how to use coupons and sales circulars to cut your grocery bill by at least 20%
• Develop a 30-day meal plan complete with shopping lists
• Learn an efficient way to organize recipes
• Receive access to Brook Noel's Menus & Mealtimes library with tons of weekly and monthly meal plans complete with shopping lists
• Learn about doubling portions and freezing to make meal planning easier
• Learn easy-to-make crockpot meals for use on those really busy days

 Course Summary:
In Week 1, you will learn how to inventory and stock your pantry.  A well-stocked pantry is key to having an efficient meal planning system in place.  It will also save you money as you use what you buybefore it expires (or starts to grow things).  We will also talk about the use of coupons and circulars to plan our shopping trips so that we can have nutritious meals while saving money at the same time. Lastly, we will begin sorting existing recipes to make meal planning easier when we begin our monthly plan next week.

In Week 2, you will begin learning how to write a menu plan for your family. We will complete a 30 Day Dinner Meal plan, complete with shopping lists. You will also learn about cooking and freezing for ready-to-reheat meals on hand when needed.  We will also talk about using the crockpot to have a ready-to-eat meal available on the busiest of days.

These two weeks will bring you closer to an organized pantry and meal plan so that the next time the kids yell "What's for dinner?" you will not have to answer "Pizza Hut!"
