In the midst of kids, homework and after-school activities, life can get really busy and finding time to meal prep and stick to a perfect meal plan can seem daunting. We're excited to welcome back Sally Kuzemchak, our amazing registered dietitian to get all the details on her new meal planner. As a mom of two boys, Sally understands the struggles of fellow parents and wanted to create a resource that would allow families to plan dinner with no stress or guilt. Her meal planner emphasizes the fact that we all get busy, things don't always go as planned, and it's important to have staple "detour meals" to turn to when life happens. She reminds us that cereal for dinner is acceptable. Because sometimes that's all we can handle, right parents?! I know that I struggle with being consistent with meal planning. One week I am great and I seem to have it all figured out, then the next week the kids are asking about dinner and I don't think I even had lunch yet. Those weeks happen! That's life! That's 100% normal, and thankfully Sally understands that. And that's why we love this podcast episode and hope that you will too 🙂 Sally shared tons of tips on how to ease into meal planning and how to get the kids on board with your weekly menu.
