Making meals at home can be stressful. Do you:
- ~ stare blankly in your fridge at 5pm wondering WHAT TO COOK?
- ~ struggle FINDING TIME TO COOK with littles at your feet, that let's be honest - probably won't eat the meal anyway?
- ~ frequently find SPOILED FOOD in the fridge that you have to toss?
- ~ feel BORED of the same meals you make over and over?
- ~ find yourself AT THE GROCERY STORE WAY TOO OFTEN spending way too much money on it all?
- - have a certain FOOD DIET you are trying to plan around?
- ~ feel stuck in a never ending loop of TRYING ALL THE SOLUTIONS like meal subscriptions, ready-made meal plans, and it not working?

you can save money & time in your kitchen
When I had my first baby (I have four littles now by the way) I didn’t want to spend all my *free time* in the kitchen. My husband was in dental school and we had a really small budget, so cooking at home was necessary. Eating the same thing over and over got old. Trying too many new recipes kept me running to the grocery store for random items and blowing the budget.
I hated worrying about “what am I going to make?” all day. If you are a mom you know, cooking with littles around gets chaotic, especially at dinner time right? They need us, they want food immediately, you’re figuring out a new recipe and really – you’re just counting down the minutes to bedtime. Or is that just me? I’m guessing you can relate.
Eating is never ending, so why not get good at it? I found the sweet spot when I started planning meals every two weeks. It’s just enough time between shopping trips & knowing what’s coming up on your calendar. Plus, I got a week off from shopping/planning – and I spent less on our food budget each month – hello, I’m in!
I learned that with a few simple planning steps – dinner wasn’t chaotic but it was actually *usually* enjoyable! You can get good at meals for your family too! All you need is the right system – one that will stretch you a bit but save you a bunch of $$ and time.
