    A meal prep evolution: how to make meal prep work in every season

    A meal prep evolution: how to make meal prep work in every season

    There are three times a year I have moms come to me more than any other time looking for advice on how to start (or re-start) a meal prep routine- back to school, the new year- and now- the start of spring. Today I want to share with you a different conversation on meal prep- we're talking about what it looks like to revolve and evolve your meal prep throughout the different seasons, and how my own meal prep routine has evolved over the years, so this is the last time you need to start or re-start a meal prep routine.

    Meal-worthy salads for the whole family

    Meal-worthy salads for the whole family

    Why is it that salads you get at a restaurant often feel so much more satisfying than the ones you make at home? I want to change that! We’re ditching the iceberg lettuce, sad tomatoes and dry shredded carrots- let’s make some satisfying salads this spring and summer, substantial enough for a whole meal for the whole family.

    New stage, new challenges: How we're feeding our kids these days (6 and 10)

    If you’re feeling like everything that made sense about feeding your kids is all of a sudden different as they get older and their food preferences change, they can voice their opinion on food more and feeding them is both more free and frustrating that ever before… let’s chat. In today’s episode, I’m here as a mom- not a food expert- and we’re talking how we’re (practically) feeding our kids these days.

Inspiring!

I have been following Kris and cooking her recipes for a couple of years now. They are always spot on, and many of them have made it onto our family favorite list. This podcast, like everything she does, is high quality. If you’re in a food rut she will get you out of it. Need to brush up on your kitchen skills? She can help you with that. Or maybe you need tips for budgeting your grocery shopping or streamlining your kitchen routine and meal planning. Kris has you covered. Plus she’s just a super kind human. I also highly recommend the cooking club over on Patreon! So worth it!

Finding Joy in the Kitchen as a Mama of 2

I recently started a journey of trying to find more joy while in my kitchen. As a mama of 2 (7mo & 2yo) I spend sooooo much of my time in the kitchen getting food together or cleaning up and truly it’s my least favorite. I love good food but it always tastes better when I don’t have to cook or clean. Finding this podcast and Kris’s IG page has given me hope! With helpful tips and a plethora of recipes, I feel like I am on a path to feel comfortable and dare I say able to find joy in my kitchen for the first time in my life. THANK YOU KRIS! 🤍👩🏼‍🍳

5 Star Review

As a mother of two teenagers, mealtime has always been daunting, and then COVID hit. I started listening to Health Mama Kitchen Podcast right at the beginning of COVID. I can't express enough how grateful I am to have come across this incredible resource at such a difficult time. Kris helped me navigate the challenges of weekly meal planning by offering easy-to-follow guidance that allowed me to prepare healthy and nutritious meals without spending a ton of time in the kitchen. Her focus on creating a stress-free meal environment was especially helpful during a period of unprecedented uncertainty.

Kris's extensive knowledge in culinary nutrition has been invaluable in simplifying my meal plan and making healthy eating easy, fun, and delicious. Her weekly planning tips and meal prep hacks have removed all the stress of weekday dinners, instead making it inspiring and fun.

As if the podcast wasn't enough, I joined The Healthy Mama Cooking Club, which has provided a new level of inspiration and creativity to my daily meal prep. Thanks to her delicious recipes and fresh ideas, my teenagers have ventured outside their comfort zones and tried new foods - something I never thought possible. It's been a delightful surprise to hear them comment on my cooking skills and request certain dishes for dinner.

The Healthy Mama Kitchen Podcast has been a real game-changer for my family and our approach to weeknight meals and healthy eating. I highly recommend it to any mama looking for practical and sustainable ways to make nutritious meals for her family. Kris, thank you for making mealtime a stress-free, enjoyable, and tasty experience.
