2022 Eat Drink Cleveland Inspired Eating Meal Planning Challenge

2022 Inspired Eating Challenge

Are you tired of the same old meals? Do you spend too much money on takeout because you can't stand coming up with dinner ideas? Me too!

Instead of a boring New Years resolution, I'm kicking off 2022 with a plan for some good times in the kitchen.

Join me as I explore new recipes and cooking techniques to make eating at home fun again.

Instead of a daily meal plan, I am giving you a few recipes each month that you can add to your rotation. The idea is to have fun and not stress out about being tied to a set menu every week.

Don't like a recipe? Skip it! Feel free to make ALL the recipes or only the ones that your kids might eat. It's your kitchen - you are the boss!

What Is the Inspired Eating Meal Planning Challenge?

Every month, I am sharing recipes to inspire and help you spice up your meal planning. You might even learn some new techniques or try unfamiliar to you ingredients. I will provide at least one recipe per week with some more challenging or time-consuming bonus recipes that you can tackle on your day off or a weekend.

Each month I am going to pick at least one recipe that uses an Instant Pot, air fryer, blender, slow cooker or dehydrator so we can get more use out of our appliances and justify the space that they take up in our homes.

My Inspired Eating Challenge Includes:

Fast and easy weeknight meals
Healthy choices
Soups
New techniques
Ethnic cuisine
Sweet treats
Air fryer + Instant Pot + Crockpot recipes
Cocktails and Sober-friendly Drinks

And because I don't want to cook every single day and I'm sure don't either, I'll include some of my favorite local restaurants for take-out nights.

Where Am I Getting the Recipes I'm Sharing?

I'm including an assortment of recipes from:

My personal collection
Favorite blogger recipes
Cookbooks
Recipes submitted from readers

Do I Need to Be a Great Cook to Participate in the Challenge?

No! The recipes I share will range from beginner to advanced but everyone can participate. If you have questions, you can message me and I'll try to help!
