Let’s talk about the ins and outs of meal planning. Like I said last week, I don’t enjoy it. In fact, I often dread it. It’s one of my least favorite to-do’s. But I do it anyway because it makes a difference for my family.
Here’s why meal planning matters:
- It saves time.
- It saves money.

- You can cook once and eat twice. Perfect for busy nights.

Dessert. We all love it. I know there are people who say they’d rather eat another baked potato than a piece of cake but I have a sneaking suspicion that if they were really being honest with themselves and there were no consequences to the cake, they’d go for it. Full hog. I regularly get [...]
