A fabulous Menu Planner

If you suffer from any kind of food sensitivities or just aren't sure how to plan and create a variety of easy, quick, delicious, healthy meals for yourself, then I HIGHLY recommend Sarah's fabulous meal planner. Please read on to find out more about how Sarah's meal planner can uniquely help you, or try it for one week for free. I have personally found Sarah's recipes to be delicious, healthy, easy to prepare and the best part is they are adaptable to any kind of food sensitivity (if, for example, you need to avoid certain foods like sugar, wheat, eggs, meat, etc). Enjoy! Rena

From Sarah:
When I was a kid, I remember mashing bananas and blueberries with my bare hands to make smoothies. The only reason I think I did this was the sheer joy I got from using my bare hands before I put them in the blender to mix them with the milk and sometimes ice cream.

After being diagnosed with food allergies in my late teens, my number one question became “What can I eat?” Fortunately, I used my creativity and the joy I found in cooking to create new and delicious ways to enjoy food that was free of dairy, wheat and other common allergens.

Although I don’t find myself mashing bananas with my bare hands anymore, everyday I enjoy discovering new ways to create beautiful and allergen-free food.

Every week, I compile the recipes I have tested or created into a weekly menu planner for people who are looking for fresh, creative and allergen-free meals. An organized shopping list is included to make shopping a piece of cake.

On top of this, I have found that no two people’s diet is the same. When it comes to people with food allergies, their diets vary as greatly as the types of flowers that grow on the earth. While one person can’t eat gluten and dairy, another person can’t eat nightshades, eggs and fish.

Presently, I solve this problem by creating a “Substitutions” section for each recipe. For each main ingredient of each recipe, I offer suggestions for alternate foods one can substitute if they can’t eat an ingredient or they don’t care for it.

My subscribers love this feature of the menu planner. They say that it is very helpful and gives them “permission” to experiment and use the foods that work for them. And they say that the food still tastes great with the substitutions.

Another feature of the menu planner is that it works for meat-eaters, seafood-eaters, vegetarians and vegans because there is a vegetarian/vegan option for each recipe. Also, the recipes use whole foods such as fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts and seeds. Nothing artificial or processed is used.

It is really an amazing value because people report that they save money and time from using the menu planner. Having a detailed shopping list prevents people from buying things they don’t need or buying expensive prepackaged foods instead of whole ingredients. For these reasons, people say they save between $20 and $70 per shopping trip.

People save time because when they walk in the door at night, the recipes and ingredients are waiting for them. Best of all, every recipe takes only 30 minutes or less to prepare.
They also report feeling healthy and happy from eating a varied and allergen-free diet.

Simply put, my subscribers love the menu planner. I am very happy to be able to give people something that contributes so much to their well-being.

They even tell me I should charge more but for now, I am offering the menu planner for $20 a month. Interested? You can receive a free week of the menu planner when you visit my website: http://www.heartofcooking.com

What’s in the works: My plans for the menu planner include creating a member site where subscribers can search for recipes that specifically work for their diet. They will still receive a menu planner every week, but if something doesn’t work for them, they can swap it out with a recipe from the website.
