AP 789: What I Actually Feed My Family || Simple Repeat Meals + Meal-Planning That Cuts Down on the Mental Load
About this episode
Monica shares strategies for simplifying family meal planning and reducing stress around mealtime.
Feeding our families is a never-ending task, one that can weigh heavily on both our minds and wallets. I used to feel overwhelmed by the constant need to plan, shop, and cook meals, but I've discovered a few strategies that have transformed our dinner routine into something manageable and even enjoyable. By keeping an essentials list, planning and shopping biweekly, and focusing on simple repeat meals, I’m not only saving money but also finding more peace around mealtime. These approaches have allowed me to reduce stress and spend more quality time with my family, enjoying meals rather than dreading them. I hope these insights help you reclaim your evenings and bring joy back to your family dinners this summer. Get Your Grocery Game Plan Guide Preorder Sticky Habits book today!
