HARD TRUTH: You Don't Need More Recipes
One thing I've learned after 10+ years helping people in their kitchens:
You don't need more recipes.
You need a plan for the days when life gets messy.
Most people think dinner is hard because they don't know what to cook.
In my experience, dinner is hard because:
𼴠Everyone is tired
𼴠Nobody has taken anything out of the freezer
𼴠The day didn't go to plan
𼴠Someone is hungry RIGHT NOW
The families who seem to have it together aren't cooking fancy meals every night.
They're repeating simple meals.
They're using leftovers.
They're batch cooking when they can.
And they're making decisions before they're exhausted.
That's why I spend more time planning than cooking.
It sounds boring, but it's probably saved me thousands of dollars and hundreds of takeaway meals over the years.
The goal isn't to be a perfect cook.
The goal is to make feeding your family easier.
Did you need this reminder too?
â¤ď¸ Save this for later.
