As a mom of 4 kiddos I spend alot of my time in the kitchen! And the biggest problem with that is that I DO NOT like to cook! Meal preparation and mealtime was always very frustrating for me. Everything from making a grocery list, to going grocery shopping, to fixing the meals. It wasn't until I started thinking about what was making it so frustrating that I had a lightbulb moment. I was doing very little, if any advance planning. I was constantly looking to see what I had on hand and then trying to plan the meal around that. So I decided to start planning a menu for the week, and it seriously revolutionalized my kitchen woes!! I recently decided to start this blog as a resource for other moms (or dads..or anyone who wants quick meal ideas) and update it with my monthly menu as well as recipies of quick family friendly meals. I hope it helps you take some stress out of your mealtime routine! Happy eating!
