McMillan, 1924  \nThis 1924 book was given to me by my mother-in-law after she found it in her mother’s attic several years ago. It was fun to turn the fragile pages and look at the meal planning tips and food costs from the 1920s. Did you know that two jars of peanut butter could be purchased for 25 cents? One thing that was not surprising to me was the way meal planning and preparation were described––as time-consuming, difficult chores. A lot has changed over the past eight decades, but not the way most people feel about fixing meals. I do, however, think we face some new obstacles to meal planning and preparation today, and that is what prompted us to write this guide.  \nThe fact that we are all juggling busy schedules is a given, but many people have a lack of cooking skills and knowledge that drives them to purchase and consume overly processed foods that are high in calories but often low in nutritional value.  \nThis book was written because of a need expressed by families and individuals who want to eat better but need simple direction from the information provided. All the recipes and meal plans have passed the test to be easy, affordable and healthy (in that order) . Yes, you will still need to devote some time and energy to plan meals and shop for ingredients, but the rewards of saving money, improving your health and sharing time with your family are worth the effort.  \nHere’s to easy meals and healthy families.

This meal planner is your blueprint for building weekly menus that the whole family will eat.  \nGetting into the habit of planning meals ahead will also help organize your weekly shopping list.

And to make it even more convenient for you, we’ve designed a weekly shopping list as a tool for you to note what you’ll need for the week, and to easily find those items at your local Meijer.  \nhow to use the Easy Meals, Healthy Families weekly meal ","cbCairvpilwJpm33","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairvpilwJpm33","pdf",10481086,68,"English","# Quick, Affordable Meal Solutions\n## Chapter One: Making Mealtime Matter\n## Chapter Two: Cooking Tools and Tips\n## Chapter Three: Nutrition Made Simple with NuVal®\n## Chapter Four: Healthy Meals with MyPlate\n## Chapter Five: Start with Breakfast\n## Chapter Six: Lunchtime Done Right\n## Chapter Seven: Sensible Snacking\n## Chapter Eight: The Dinner Dilemma\n## Chapter Nine: Special Dietary Concerns\n## Chapter Ten: Resources and Solutions","[{\"question\":\"Why does the book focus on meal planning and what problem does it address?\",\"answer\":\"The book targets the challenge many families face when they lack cooking skills and feel meal planning is time-consuming and difficult.
