Nutrition for busy families can get complicated when the simplest solution is usually bad for our bodies. But how can families on the go set themselves up for success one or two days a week and let themselves off the hook for the rest?
Sarah provides simple solutions (and one that I had never even considered!). Sometimes it’s as easy as giving yourself permission not to be a slave to every meal time. What if snacks were served for dinner instead of an entire meal? What if we said, “This is all I can do for today… you guys will live, I promise.”
What About Meal Planning?
This is a subject that we can overly complicate. I mean… if you’re expecting to cook a ton of food in a tiny bit of time.. think again. If you’re expecting to eat different things at every meal… think again. But if you’re willing to borrow and share your food items and spread them across the week, you’re on the right track.
Sometimes our food cravings can overpower our better sense of how far the dollars go at the grocery store or farmer’s market. A large part of thinking through our family meals is being content with what can can afford with our money and our time.
So if you’re ready to challenge the way you think about food in exchange for a simpler, stress-free lifestyle, you’ve come to the right podcast.
