Get Your Hands in the Flour

From Scratch Cooking & Baking

Cooking and baking from scratch provide hands-on opportunities that we are big supporters of. Not only can you tailor the recipes to suit your taste, but you also get to have fun being part of the process putting the meal together from the start.

We’re encouraging you to get your hands in the flour with our May meal plan. Making dishes from scratch doesn’t have to be hard—and you’ll be proud of your homemade creation!

Thanks to our friends at Revive Wellness for developing this meal plan.
