Welcome to the New Year!
Our January healthy meal plan has your New Year’s Resolutions in mind. Starting today, we are going to eat better and I can’t think of a better way to ensure that than with a healthy meal plan. This plan features great healthy recipes that feature real foods, reduced sugar, and whole grains. Recipes are kid tested and mom approved too! Together. let’s eat healthier and do more in 2018.
As always, we’re getting in the kitchen and making most of the items from scratch with just a handful of convenience items thrown in to save time. Those few convenience foods are still healthy because we’ll only use those with a limited number of ingredients. These ingredients would be those that I’d use if I were cooking from scratch. That means no artificial anything. It’s all about real food!
Healthy Family, Happy Family
With each New Year brings renewed determination to be healthier and more active. This year, Little Family Adventure’s motto is “Healthy Family = Happy Family”. We believe that when we are active and eat healthy, we have the ability to get out and have more fun together. With this in mind, we bring you a healthy meal plan that is family friendly, introduced a few new dishes, and focuses on quick and easy meals.

Nicky, Love this. I am totally inspired to try a few new things as well from your list. Thanks.
This year we are all about trying new things each and every month. My goal is to add at least one new dish or meal idea per week. I’d love to hear how you liked any of our recipes.
These are great ideas, Nicky. I see quite a few ideas that will work out well for our low carb food plans. I’m definitely going to be doing some meal planning this month (and hope to continue it this year!)
Thanks Marjie! We are limiting our carbs and added more vegetables into our diet. I’m thrilled that this is inspiring you to meal plan yourself.
Great ideas – very practical too. Definitely using this. Thank you.
Happy to share this Kelly! With kids, work, and school, a meal plan is the way I get food on the table that isn’t junk.
So many great options here, everything sounds delicious, on my way to check out your Eggs in Hell right now!
It’s really good and SO easy! Substutite any marinara sauce and add the heat to it with a little cayenne to taste.
I love reading through the ‘plan’. It gives me so many ideas! This time of year I find it so easy to get bored and make the same easy meals! Repeatedly!
I was doing the same thing with a weekly meal plan. Each week, it seemed it was just a variation of the same old thing. The monthly planning helps me add more variety and I find that it’s easier for me. I hope those ideas will inspire you to try something different.
Very true! Without a plan, you can’t succeed.
Nicky this meal plan is incredible. I love it. It all looks so good.
I’m glad you shared it with us at Simple Saturdays.
It was my pleasure. Thanks for hosting the party.
WOW this is incredible! I will need to repin all of these images for later. I have been trying to convince myself to tackle my health binge but it hasn’t happened yet….I need…motivation ;(
I share a new monthly meal plan full of healthy, real food recipes. If you haven’t already signed up for our meal planning newsletter, do so and I’ll send you new motivation each month.
Just the way to start the new year. So excited to eat real food again. Definitely going to use your meal plan.
