You'll get a huge variety of seasonal + anytime recipe ideas that aren't fussy, are packed with flavor & nutrition, and are organized so that you'll get quick prep, prep ahead, no-brainer, and deliciously shareable meals - 15 dinner ideas - every single month.

That's half the month planned FOR you!!

(And, a LOT of those meals make great leftovers, so you can easily make them span more than one dinnertime!)

Suffice it to say, I think you're going to LOVE these recipes, but more on that in just a sec!

With monthly "Invite, Play, and Plan" tips, you'll get simple + meaningful ideas for how to really make your dinner table an anchor point for your family & a welcoming place for others.

Plus, it'll be so much easier to invite others over for meals - you get recipe ideas each month perfect for sharing around the table and a big list of perfectly corresponding side ideas that you can suggest to others to bring to make it a potluck meal. Easier planning for you + easier contribution for them = gathering made easy!

You'll get 15 main dish recipe ideas for each month that include a variety of seasonal + "anytime" meals that fit these categories:

4 Quick Prep recipes
2 No-Brainer recipes (i.e. meals that don't take a bunch of thought or effort to throw together)
4 Prep Ahead recipes
3 "Just Plain Delish" recipes - meals that don't necessarily fit a particular "prep" category but make for a yummy dinner!
2 "Deliciously Shareable" recipes - recipes that are perfect for sharing around the table with family and friends (and yes, in the recipe notes, I include a bunch of side ideas that you can suggest for guests to bring to go with the meal!)
Plus, you'll get two (amazingly tasty) seasonal dessert recipes each month - make an excuse to linger at the table, have a treat with your fam, or make something fun to bring to a neighbor.

**Note: All of these link out to HIGHLY rated recipes from various bloggers! I've done ALL the Googling homework for you to find recipes with fantastic reviews!**

You'll get a handy-dandy table for each month that helps you see some important features of that month's recipes at a glance - this is going to make meal planning a BREEZE.

A quick glance at the table can tell you if a recipe:

Can be easily doubled (most of them can be!)
Can be made in an slow cooker or an Instant Pot (for easy "set it and forget it" meals)
Is a full meal (vs. a main dish that needs sides)
Freezes well
Meets a particular dietary need such as gluten free, dairy free, or vegetarian
Makes good leftovers (so you can easily plan to reheat for lunch or dinner the next day!)

AND, if a recipe has a star in a column, it means that you can make some SUPER EASY adaptations to make it fit that category! (I give you those adaptation suggestions in the recipe notes.)

Here's what you'll love about these pages:

Quickly see the prep time, total time, and number of servings for each recipe. This will help you easily plan out when to make what meal.
You'll get tips for prep and/or customization ideas for almost every recipe. I'll give you quick tips for how to adapt a recipe, make it heartier or even more nutritious, what to do to prep it ahead of time, etc.
SIDE IDEAS!!! Some of these recipes are "full meals" that really don't need a side dish, but for all of them that do, I offer suggestions for sides that would go perfectly with that main dish so you don't even have to think about it. MENU PLANNING MADE EASY, my friend!

If I had a dollar for every hour I spent Googling recipes to include in here, I'd be giving you Year-Round Yum for free and on a beach somewhere sipping bottomless pina coladas.

Just kidding. I don't even like rum and I'm too much of a homebody. But you get the point.

Let's just say, I spent a LOT of time curating this list of recipes to make sure that I only included what seemed to be the BEST OF THE BEST. The vast majority of the recipes in here have at least 4.7/4.8 out of 5 stars and dozens (if not hundreds) of reviews.

Which means we're avoiding a bunch of duds!

Variety! Without all of the decision fatigue!

YOU 👏 ARE 👏 WELCOME 👏!

Variety in:

Meal types - tons of options! Soups, tacos, salads, bowl meals, casseroles, skillet dishes, stir frys, etc.

Cuisines - alllll sorts of cuisines (but again, carefully chosen with ingredients you'll use regularly) - comfort foods, Asian, Tex-Mex, Italian, Mediterranean, American, Indian, and more!

Dietary needs - lots of INHERENTLY* gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian options. As well as plenty of options for those of you (and me) who love gluten, dairy, and meat.

*When I say they "inherently" meet a dietary need, I mean that those recipes don't require specialty ingredients...the recipe easily meets the "dietary requirement" without you having to make a bunch of substitutions.

What do I mean by healthy and nutritious?

Lots of recipes with a variety of veggies & lean meats.
You won't find any recipes in here that call for preservative-rich ingredients. Not to rag on Velveeta, condensed soups, and MSG, but they just didn't make the cut in the recipes I chose for Year-Round Yum.

Now, are there some decadent, cheese-tastic, out-of-this-world, "last meal on earth" types of recipes in here?

Uhhh, yes.

But even for those recipes, I did my best to include recipes that only call for real ingredients. You know, like real heavy whipping cream, real sharp cheddar cheese, and real bacon.

What do I mean by hearty?

Belly-rubbin' meals that you feel GOOD about feeding your fam.

I can't wait to help you feed your family meals you're excited to make.

We love food around here. Tex-Mex, southern comfort (often with a healthier twist), Asian-inspired, Italian, all-things pasta, and pretty much anything made in a cast iron skillet. Or a slow cooker. Or an Instant Pot. Or on the grill.

We're not real picky.

And, we love to eat seasonally. There are some things that are tasty aaaaany time of year...you know, like TACOS. But taco soup? In July in central Texas? No way, Jose.

Plus, it's fun to eat seasonally because you can look so forward to those foods and flavors that remind you of rhythms, traditions, and routines of the seasons that are so special to you & your fam!

I know how much you relish in making good food that gets people 'round your table, but I also know how challenging it can be to come up with a variety of TASTY & FLAVORFUL meal ideas without making your head spin.

And ones that won't turn up as duds. (Gosh it's frustrating when that happens!)

Or need a bunch of uncommon or unusual ingredients. (Or preservative-packed ingredients that you'd really rather not feed your fam.)

Or require some fussy prep and cooking methods.

That's why I created Year-Round Yum. I want it to be A LOT easier for us to plan seasonal + everyday meals we're excited to serve up AND that makes it easier for us to get around our dinner tables and make a huge difference in this world.

This day & age, I'm 100% convinced that our little 'ole dinner tables have a greater impact on lives than any of us can imagine, so I hope Year-Round Yum frees you up to enjoy more time building community over good food!

Here's why you'll love Year-Round Yum:

The recipes have already been vetted by tons of other reviewers. With SO many recipes with such high ratings, we're avoiding a bunch of duds!
You'll get a huge variety in meal types, cuisines, and flavors without all the overwhelm. You don't have to rely on run-of-the-mill, repetitive meals, uncommon ingredients, or fussy cooking methods.
Eating seasonally is FUN! Each month has a number of recipes that are perfect for that season, so you & your fam can look forward to enjoying meals ideal for the time of year!
Making a menu gets SOOOO MUCH EASIER. With a list of perfectly corresponding side ideas for every single main dish recipe that isn't a "full meal" on its own, you'll be able to VERY easily plan out main dishes & sides in minutes.
It makes PLANNING way simpler. With being able to quickly see how long each meal takes to prep, how many it serves, whether or not it meets a common dietary need, if it freezes well, if you can plan on it for leftovers...you can easily figure out what meals to make when.
You'll be able to more intentionally spend time with others at the table. The tips in Year-Round Yum help you make some family dinners a little more meaningful + help you more simply invite + build connections with others around your table. There's so much power in your dinner table - Year-Round Yum will help you unleash it!

Oh, and by the way, you can use Year-Round Yum straight from your phone or tablet!

How will I get the product after I purchase?

Within a few minutes of your purchase, you'll receive an email with all the links to download Year-Round Yum! (You will receive a DIGITAL product in your email; nothing will physically be mailed to your address.)

What types of meal ideas are included in Year-Round Yum?

A HUGE variety! Lots of different flavors, cuisines, cooking methods, etc. but most, if not all, will be fairly familiar!

Does this include all of the main dish recipes?

Year-Round Yum includes LINKS to the recipes. That's one of the things that makes this so special. By linking out to others' recipes, I was able to create a much more RELIABLE list of tasty recipes since I could rely on recipes that have already been vetted with so many reviews.

What if I own Delish List? Are these just all the same recipes?

There's a little bit of overlap, but for the most part, you'll find a bunch of new gems to serve up to your fam in here!

How is this different than any other meal idea list?

For one, the recipe ideas have been VERY carefully selected. I've browsed through zillions and zillions of recipes, trying to find the ones that not ONLY have the best reviews, but also have the most reasonable cooking methods & ingredients. Second, there's a big focus on seasonality - let's be honest, it's just downright fun to eat foods that go along with the seasons!

Do I have to print this to use it?

Nope! You can save Year-Round Yum (a PDF) to your phone and/or tablet's home screen, and then easily access it from there, just like you would any of your apps!
