Quick and Easy Meals for your 3 Month Supply


A simple way to obtain a 3-month supply for your family is to choose 7 breakfasts, 7 lunches and 7 dinners that your family eats on a regular basis. You now have planned an entire week of meals for your family. By multiplying these meals by 12, you now have 3 months of meals planned.

Determine what ingredients you will need in order to make each recipe. Multiply by 12. Purchase and store these items.
