My family started following a restrictive diet when my son was just a baby and we learned of his severe food allergies. Those early years were a bit of a guessing game, but we had settled into a routine by the time my daughter came along three years later. She was born with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease impacting the lungs and pancreas. Our diet once again shifted to avoid the foods – grains, sugar, and dairy – that can cause systemic inflammation.

Learning to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a family that required a special diet was a huge challenge. I didn’t want to rely on processed, packaged foods, but meal prep for a ravenous family of four seemed impossible given the necessary time investment. I slowly found solutions by developing a repertoire of simple and delicious recipes that were nutrient dense, avoided offensive foods, and were enjoyed by the whole family.

Meal Planning

I also developed a system of meal planning and prep that allowed me to spend a minimal amount of time in the kitchen each week while preparing the majority of my family’s meals from scratch. I use a system of planning ahead, bulk cooking, freezing foods, and serving leftovers that results in me spending just 4-6 hours in the kitchen each week while producing nearly all of our meals – breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks – from scratch.
My goal in writing this book was to provide other families with my family’s favorite recipes while teaching them how to get more organized in the kitchen. I want families to learn that meal planning and prep can be simple tasks that save time and frustration, and ultimately help provide your family with more nourishing meals. I’ve included helpful tips and suggestions throughout the book including recipe icons that give you a quick summary of the recipe’s time investment and storage recommendations. Knowing which recipes can be frozen for later will be key in your kitchen success!

Recipe Icons

Each recipe includes a set of icons to help you organize your prep time and inform you of proper food storage.

The apron describes the amount of hands on time required to complete each recipe.

The timer describes the total amount of time to complete the recipe, including the active time plus any unattended time.

The plate tells you the number of servings or quantity yielded by the recipe. Pay special attention to this number since some recipes yield a large quantities that are intended for freezing leftovers.

The refrigerator depicts the duration for which a recipe can be stored in the refrigerator. Recipes that do not store well in the fridge have a slash through the icon. Recipes that have no need to be stored in the refrigerator are missing the icon altogether.

The snowflake depicts the duration for which the recipe can be stored in the freezer. Recipes that do not store well in the freezer have a slash through the icon. Recipes that have no need to be stored in the freezer are missing the icon altogether.

I’ve included over 100 colorful photos, including a handful of photos showing you how to complete unfamiliar tasks like making sauerkraut, chopping fennel, cutting a mango, or cooking with a spaghetti squash.

The 4-weeks of Menus are designed to simplify food prep over the course of a month. Recipes that are prepared during Weeks 1 and 2 will be frozen and served during Weeks 3 and 4. For those who prefer more detailed food prep instructions than what is available in my book, I’ve compiled Detailed Menus with day-by-day, step-by-step instructions on how to efficiently prep all four weeks’ worth of meals.
