Never Run Out of Simple, Nourishing Supper Ideas Again

(Without Getting Boxed In by Rigid Meal Plans That Don’t Fit Your Life)

Thank you so much! I made the Homestead Pie tonight with hamburger I had in the refrigerator, tomato sauce I canned last summer, freeze dried Mozzarella, chili, onion and garlic powder and veggies from my garden! It was delicious!

-Linda K.

These frameworks are absolutely brilliant! I am handy in the kitchen, but even so, I am STILL learning so much from these. I whipped up the flexible pasta salad tonight with stuff I had on hand. It is amazing! I am so thrilled with every one of these frameworks.

-Tara W.

I am really enjoying frameworks. I have already fixed the Ultimate Patty recipe yesterday and we had two of the patties last night, they were so delicious and very easy to prep! Today we are having the Cheeseburger Salad so this frees me up to work outside, hooray!

Let’s Be Real:

Meal Plans Don’t Work

…at least not for you.

You like the idea of a meal plan.

But the reality? Most systems weren’t built for your beautifully unconventional life.

You’ve tried the apps, the spreadsheets,

the color-coded charts.

You’ve tried the apps, the spreadsheets, the color-coded charts.

But somehow...

Your shelves are bursting with cookbooks, yet you still dread the “what’s for supper?” question.

You’re buried in zucchini, but your recipe calls for strawberries. In December.

You hate wasting time, food, and money—but every meal plan expects you to live next to a gourmet grocery store.

Your life doesn’t follow a set-in-stone routine, so your meals can’t either.

Sound familiar? Let me assure you: you’re not broken.

The system is.

The Truth They Don’t Tell You:

Meal planning isn’t the problem.

The way it’s been sold to us is.

For decades, food corporations have spent millions training us to believe we need exact instructions and specialty ingredients to get supper on the table.

But the greatest generation of home cooks knew better.

They didn’t follow charts, apps, or subscriptions.

They cooked by feel, not by formula.

That’s the real kitchen secret.

When You Learn to Cook by Feel, You Will:

Save up to $13,000 year by preparing food at home instead of eating out (source)

Never feel

stressed by supper

time again.

Become less

reliant on processed, industrial foods

Feel infinitely better because you’re eating food from the earth, not the factory

Cancel your

pricey meal kit

services

Make fewer trips to the grocery store and spend less time in the car

You see, recipes are great...

But recipes alone aren’t the solution.

(If they were, you wouldn’t be reading this.)

You see, recipes are great...

But recipes alone aren’t the solution.

(If they were, you wouldn’t be reading this.)

The most savvy home cooks have learned to follow in the footsteps of our ancestors. They can craft consistent meals based on what’s in their fridges, pantries, and gardens without stressing over what to cook.

They don’t need recipes because they’ve mastered the art of intuitively weaving ingredients together.

And now so can you.

What if You Could...

  • Make nourishing meals with whatever’s in your fridge right now

  • Stop Googling 47 recipes at 4:30pm every day

  • Use up the garden glut without wasting a bite

  • Cook seasonally—without needing a dietitian degree

  • Actually enjoy feeding your family again

You can.

Because cooking well doesn’t require complicated plans.

It just takes a little craft.

Meal Craft Doesn’t Just Save Your Sanity— It Saves You Money

Meal Craft was built to stretch what you already have so you can:

  • Buy less at the store

  • Waste less in the fridge

  • Eat out way less often

Let’s break it down:

The average family throws out $1,500/year in food waste.

Meal Craft helps you use every last carrot, leftover roast, or half-wilted cabbage.

Even one less takeout night a month saves you $40–$60.

You’ll have fast, flexible meals on hand so you’re not tempted to grab burgers again.

Cooking from your pantry is way cheaper than chasing ingredients for every recipe.

Meal Craft teaches you to cook with what you’ve got, not what you wish you had.

That’s easily $75–$150+ saved each month.

(And Meal Craft costs way less than that.)

In other words...

This subscription pays for itself.

(Probably in the first week!)

Meal Craft Also

Eliminates These

Everyday Headaches

That sinking feeling when you realize it’s 4pm and you have no idea what’s for supper

Tossing money (and wilted produce) in the trash

Wasting time Googling the “perfect” recipe

Busy weeknights when you’re doing everything you can to avoid another trip through the drive-through

That mystery meat in the freezer or garden veggies piling up on the counter

Your love/hate relationship with being an “ingredient house”

Living where specialty ingredients are nowhere to be found

The stress of constantly tweaking recipes for your family’s dietary needs

Meal Craft is Perfect For You If:

  • You grow your own food—or shop local and want to use every bit

  • You’re managing allergies or sensitivities and need flexible meal ideas

  • You hate wasting food and time

  • You’ve tried (and ghosted) more meal plans than you can count

  • You want to “cook like Grandma”—no recipes required

  • You just want someone to show you how to cook on the fly

"We made the empanadas last night and they were a huge hit! It was my first time making them, and the dough and filling were spot on."

-Larissa B.

"We really enjoyed June, I was able to make meal after meal and no repeats just using different combinations of ingredients. I really appreciate being able to be brain dead during the summer with meal planning. I just check to see what I have within a certain Framework and then cook!"
