I have to admit. When I cook a little homemade dinner, even after a crazy day, I feel like I’m winning at life.
It’s like this soothing little routine that says- you got this mamma.
It’s like wrapping yourself (and anyone lucky enough to be around you) up in this magical cozy goodness that promises to sustain and hold us all, in ways deeper than we know. And, at just the right time.
When we need it the most.
In other words, this winter season ahead. As a 98% of the time, sun-loving girl, it’s taken me a while (um, most of my life) to see the little magic that winter can bring. It’s cold, it’s dark at 3pm, and you know what I’ve decided?
You just have to create your own light. And there is something so amazing about that, if you choose to see it that way.
Winter is beautiful, and needed. It’s a perfect time to turn inwards, when we all are craving a little more simplicity and ease.
It’s like we finally get permission to slow down a bit, and cozy up. And re-nourish, re-center, and re-generate ourselves, in simple and warming ways.
The nights start earlier and last just a little bit longer- giving us some extra holding space for that big love and magic, with the people we love the most.
Winter is here. Let’s create a little magic and light, shall we? Right in our own homes, at our tables, and in our daily life.
The Winter Meal Plan, is here, ready to ground us, save us, and inspire us to take care of ourselves and the ones we love, all in just 3 hours a week. So you can focus on what matters most.
So…. what exactly is the Winter Meal Plan?
The Winter Meal Plan is a 4 week set of printable weekly (naturally gluten-free) meal plans, with super-easy and healthy recipes
and
a once-a-week printable shopping list, coordinated perfectly, so you can cook under 3 hours a week, and eat gorgeous, healthy real food at every meal.
It’s your ticket to easily upgrading your weekday eating game, so you can:
a) stop wasting time searching for actually healthy recipes, cooking hour-long dinners at night, or having marathon multi-hour meal-prep sessions on Sundays.
b) stop wasting money eating out all the time (breakfast, lunch and dinner are done for you, and exciting). These will make your co-workers jealous.
c) feel better in your daily life, and have more energy to dominate your life.
d) get out of your boring recipe routine and learn some new easy gems you can host with, and eat all season long.
e) get in and out of the store & cook for the week in approximately 3 hours or less PER WEEK!

FAQ’s:
Q: What if I am a picky eater/am cooking for a picky eater/have food sensitivities?
A: If you’re picky- I think I can change your mind. That’s because we think everything in the plan tastes great and would be worth a try first, even if its out of your comfort zone.
If it’s about food sensitivities- all of the recipes are designed for easy swap-outs- whether you are vegetarian, dairy-free or gluten-intolerant (the entire plan is naturally gluten-free and dairy optional).
Q: What if I’m traveling, or have to go out for dinner or lunches on certain days?
A: That’s totally fine! The Meal Plan is meant to give you structure and recipes that use the same ingredients in different ways, so you can modify the plan or start and stop it around your travel schedule easily.
Q: Is anything off-limits? Coffee, wine, desserts, etc?
A: No, nothing is off limits at all. This is not a diet plan– just a way to help you maximize your healthy eating, mix up your routine and get you eating and feeling better without so much effort!
Q: I did last year’s Winter Meal Plan. Are the recipes the same?
This meal plan is the same as last year. We’ve got something new and amazing coming to help you even more that we’re working on, to be announced later this year. In the meantime, checkout the new Easy Dinner Only Meal Plan here!
Q: So, what did people think about the last Seasonal Meal Plan?
“Finally a smart, practical way of living and learning about eating and your health. It just makes sense where other fads or diets don’t, for the longterm. The way you feel, the amount of energy I had and my now glowing skin is all the proof I needed. Thank you!” — Janna P.
“I liked the grocery checklist. Correction – LOVED the grocery list. I haven’t wasted food since I started, we’re spending WAY less on our weekly grocery bill and my picky husband LOVES the food. Triple win”- Casey B.
“This is the perfect way to take the thought and stress out of figuring out how to eat correctly. And, I have never felt better in my life!” – John P.
“I feel SO much better. I always thought I was a really healthy eater and this has completely changed my perspective. I have lost weight [a nice side effect], I don’t wake up in the morning with stomach aches, and my skin is clearer– plus so many other things. I’m a real-food convert now!” – Amanda D.
“The meal plan was a pretty easy way to learn how to incorporate healthy habits into your everyday life- not just sporadic days here and there. And the food was bomb.com- it definitely got me out of my cooking rut and with some great new favorites. The blog is not even a TINY smidge of the awesome recipes that Sarah gives. I seriously can’t wait for next season to get more!” – Alex G.
“I am feeling more creative and inspired in the kitchen–the fact that it’s with healthy food is even more of a bonus!” – Christine V.
