Ep 120. What's For Dinner? Meal Plan and Prep for Success PLS
"What's for dinner?".....the most common question heard in households around the country during the 'witching hour' (after school/work 4-6pm) most days :)
Having a plan for the week and the supplies can really help ease the stress and provide some foundational structure for variety and balance.
There's benefits to having a plan and, as many people have discovered, failing to plan can mean planning to fail with more impulsive decisions, eating convenience food items, like cereal or popcorn for dinner, or drive-through, Door Dash or take-out.
Think PLS - 'prep, list and schedule' or 'plan, list and shop', two frameworks or ways to think about meal planning and food prepping for the upcoming week.
Join us today to hear all about some key strategies to get healthy, delicious family-friendly foods on the table for dinner throughout the week.
