Making Meal Planning Manageable in the Real World

 If you dread the question "What's for dinner?"—you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m opening up about how I’ve learned to simplify meal planning so it doesn’t feel like a burden, especially after a long workday. I talk through how I approach planning meals in a way that cuts down on mental overwhelm, gives me flexibility during the week, and still keeps our family eating well. You’ll hear about my weekly rhythm, how I loosely plan without being too rigid, and why I’ve ditched the traditional grocery list for a more intuitive method. Whether you’re managing a home, a job, or both, these strategies are for anyone looking to make kitchen life easier and more manageable.
