- A weekly meal plan for 5 healthy dinners and one bonus dessert (Why 5? Most families eat out once or so a week and the other night you may want to implement a family favorite or enjoy leftovers)
-At least one “Make One..Get One” Meal – a meal that will stretch into planned leftovers for another meal that week
-One slow cooker meal
-One meatless meal – relying on legumes, whole grains, vegetables and dairy
-One soup/salad or sandwich meal – keeping it fun and simple!
-One seafood (such as shrimp, salmon or halibut/cod) recipe about every other week
- Recipes written for 4 servings, unless otherwise noted. Easily adjust to your family’s needs
- Estimated active time cooking (most meals are under 30 minutes) to help you plan your time
- Mostly quick, easy meals but a few that may expand your palate a bit or teach you a new technique or ethnic cooking style!
- Suggestions on many meals that let you know they are fantastic for doubling or will make a large amount – perfect for planned, easy lunches!
- Healthy, balanced, and mainly low-glycemic recipes (that is my style of cooking and the way to health, in my opinion) You choose from the Gluten Free or the Healthy Family (includes whole grain wheat) plans
- Recipes that include whole grains, lean protein, good fats, full of fiber and lots of vegetables! I believe in a varied, whole diet, therefore I will include some meals with potatoes once a week or so. I’m also realistic – food has to taste great and small amounts of flavorful ingredients, like bacon are used, but sparingly.
- Recipes that are meant to nourish your body and ingredients chosen for their health benefits
- Recipes that are exclusive to Menus by Mesa de Vida members
- BONUS! Monthly videos with mini cooking lessons and tips on healthy living from Chef Kirsten for members only!
- BONUS! Every weekly email includes a weekly menu planner for you to download and print out! Fill out your breakfast, lunch and snack items weekly, add to your pre-made grocery list and you are set for the week!

- These are not just recipes with a grocery list like many other plans. These menus have a true plan of action! I design the menus and recipes perfectly so that your time in the kitchen – and money – are optimized. Check out the Press page for a video talking about the details of the menus!
- Chef Kirsten has been designing custom menu’s and creating recipes for personal chef clients for years, customized to each client’s needs and preferences. Find out more about Chef Kirsten and Mesa de Vida’s other services here.
- I have looked at other menu plans for myself over the years and I have never found one that fit..either too high in processed ingredients, the menu was boring, or included too many meals my family simply wouldn’t eat.
- The cost is affordable – it will pay for itself every month if it gets you to avoid even one fast food meal out for a family of 4!
- They are meals that your family will actually want to eat!
- No crazy ingredients you have to go to a specialty store for. I try to utilize ingredients that may not be used often in other recipes so you don’t have a lot of ingredients around that you won’t be using!
