    blueberry banana bread batter

    Before you add the blueberries to the batter, you will want to mix them in a bowl with about a tablespoon of flour. This will prevent the berries from sinking in the batter. Fold 1 ¼ Cup of blueberries into the batter and save ¼ cup of blueberries for the next step.

All you do is print the plans, color-coded grocery lists, and recipes you want for that month. Don't worry, there are lots of options, so even picky eaters will find something they like.

    Then when it is time for dinner, make that night’s recipe (choices include make-ahead, freezer meals, slow-cooker recipes, and other time-saving strategies).

    That's it! Dinner is on the table and you can enjoy a home cooked meal with the family – without the stress!

      I'm with your kids! I love this way more than a simple plain banana bread, and that's saying a lot, cos we have banana bread almost weekly in our home. 🙂
