Hi reader,
As a busy mom who loves to cook, meal time can make me or break me.
I could spend HOURS in the kitchen – baking, cooking, tasting, pondering ideas… I truly love being in the kitchen!
However, I do NOT like to waste time just standing, frantically trying to come up with what to eat right now. This is where meal planning has been my lifesaver.
Meal planning originally started as a New Year's goal for 2012, but after a couple months, the whole family (especially me) welcomed the idea with open arms.
I'll admit – it took some getting used to. Coming up with a list of meals for the whole week seemed overwhelming. Even 9+ years later, I still get stumped sometimes on what to make for dinner.
The skill of meal planning takes practice, and even then it can be tricky because there's no one single "right way" to do it.
But I have learned over the years that there is a "best way" to do it, and that best way is simple, straight-forward, and only takes 15 minutes per week.
I teach this simple and straight-forward method in my course Meal Planning Bootcamp and to celebrate our first class in 2022, I'm hosting a FREE 5-day Meal Planning Made Easy challenge!
The challenge starts January 3 - when the kids go back to school and you can go back to your regular routine!
Everyday I'll go live on Facebook at 11am ET (with replays available outside FB) and we'll dive into topics that so many of us struggle with, like…
- Why meal planning feels so hard (and how to overcome the hurdle to reap the rewards every week)
- Where to find recipes and what to do with leftovers (so you never run out of ideas while throwing away less food)
- How to stick with it for the long-run (Simple ways to get on and stay on the meal planning bandwagon)
… and so much more!!
