I STRUGGLED FOR MANY YEARS WITH THESE VERY I SSUES AND

HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING FROM ONCE A MONTH SHOPPING , TO A

KITCHEN CHALKBOARD MEAL PLAN , AND EVEN TO HAVING AN ON -

L INE CALENDAR . BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY THOSE THINGS

NEVER WORK BECAUSE I ST ILL HAD TO S IT DOWN AND SEARCH

FOR MEALS AND TRY TO PUT TOGETHER A L IST OF INGREDIENTS I

WAS GOING TO NEED HOPEFULLY WITHOUT FORGETT ING

ANYTHING ! THAT ’S A LOT OF WORK .

WHO DOESN ’T LOVE A HOME COOKED MEAL? BUT ATTHE END OF THE DAY WHO HAS TIME AND ENERGY TOPULL TOGETHER ALL OF THE INGREDIENTS TO CREATE ADELICIOUS DINNER? NOT TO MENTION CLEAN UP ALLTHE MESS? ! I KNOW I ’M NOT ALONE IN FEELING GUILTYOVER TOO MANY TAKE -OUT MEALS OR BOWLS OF COLDCEREAL . AND LET ’S BE HONEST , WE HAVE SO MANY

OTHER THINGS WE ARE JUGGLING (LIKE HELPING WITHHOMEWORK OR WALKING THE DOG ) THAT IT ’S EASY TO

GET OVERWHELMED .

I ’VE TRIED SEVERAL DIFFERENT MEAL PLANNING SERVICES MYSELF ,

NEVER TO BE SAT ISF IED . LET ’S FAST FORWARD SEVERAL YEARS S INCE

I STARTED MY BLOG . I HAVE NOW SPENT SO MUCH T IME LEARNING

ABOUT MEAL PLANNING AND INVEST ING MY HEART AND SOUL INTO

TEACHING OTHERS HOW TO CREATE S IMPLE BUT DEL IC IOUS RECIPES

FROM WHOLESOME INGREDIENTS . I WANT TO HELP YOU HAVE
