I am thrilled with how popular the first two “real food” meal plans have been! The obvious next step was to of course create another one. And going forward my hope is to create these meal plans seasonally so we can take advantage of some of the fresh,
tasty, local produce that is available at various times of the year. Therefore this meal plan is entitled “Meal Plan 3 – Late Spring,” and I’ve put stars next to all the shopping list items that are currently available at our local farmers’ market. So once again, this is what you can expect to find in Meal Plan #3:
- One 7-day practical “real food” menu plan designed for busy families
- Complete meals listed each day for breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner with leftovers incorporated
- Food quantities calculated for a family of four
- Corresponding grocery list showing what to buy in order of the store and actual cost for each item (as opposed to the price per serving) with seasonal ingredients highlighted so they can be purchased from the local farmers’ market if desired
- Budget-friendly prices comparable to what a family of four would receive on full food stamp (SNAP) benefits – $167/week – with plenty of additional cost-saving opportunities because:
- Coupons were not used
- Sale prices were not used
- Prices for organic items were used in most cases
- All underlined recipes are available on 100DaysofRealFood.com – check out the Recipes & Resources Page for a full list
- All recipes are working mom/dad-friendly including tips on what to make in advance over the weekend
- Almost every item listed follows our strict 10-day pledge rules, with just a few minor exceptions to keep the plan realistic for those busy working parents

Hi! I’ve been a subscriber for a long time, so I don’t need to sign up. How can I access the meal plans? Every time I click on a link it tells me to subscribe to get them, and when I tried to subscribe, of course you tell me I already am :)
Help!
Hi Gerry. I just sent you an email. :)
Hello,
I am trying to access the free meal plans. I have been a subscriber for quite some time but I cannot find the original meal plans in my emails.
Hi…
I just happend to come across your blog by chance!! Im so excited and was wanting to try the 100Days of Real Food. Actually I was was searching a healthy breakfast and was really wanting to try the ‘overnight oatmeal’ (Im so needing a change in my breakfast habits). But then I saw your blog and was totally blown away on the ideas and how everything is based on the reality of ‘real family’ life styles. We all can relate to how busy life can be. Your blog is a God send! T

Hi Tammy. Can you tell me what you mean by ” alot of what I’m finding calls for processed ingredients”, and then maybe I can guide you a little better? Preparing and freezing will be key for sure. ~Amy
Hi there! I am a stay at home mom of three, soon to be four, children. After learning about protein intolerances while nursing my third child, my family decided to start making some changes with how we eat. However, now that my son is “better” and able to tolerate anything he puts in his mouth, we’ve fallen back into old habits. We’ve started buying frozen pizzas and other processed foods because they’re cheap and easy. I really like the idea of making double or triple recipes and freezing them for future meals. A lot of what I’m finding calls for processed ingredients. Since my second and third child both had protein intolerances (we followed the doctor’s instructions and used formula with the second child instead of doing our own research), we’re pretty sure the same will hold true for our next baby. I want to make sure that we’re using wholesome, real ingredients, but I won’t have time to spend at the stove for 2 hours everyday after this child is born. Could you give me some guidance and point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!!
Hello! I am a blogging newbie. Do you use a Facebook app to make the meal plans available only to people who LIKE your page? Thanks for your help! Love your site and recommend it to anyone who will listen! :) ellie
Hi Ellie. Welcome. You do need to “like” our page to get access to the menus 1-4 and the Super Market Cheat Sheet. But, it is not an app…just a like. :) ~Amy
I have subscribed to your post recently (just within the last week), and I deleted the e-mail with the free meal plan! I didn’t realize it was on the e-mail…ARGH! Is there any way to get it sent to me again?
Hi! Just found your blog and an so excited. Thank you for all the hard work you have put into this!! I would live the meal plans but I can’t find the link on the Facebook page? Can you help? Thanks!! Margaret
