The 3 Key Routines You'll Learn in This Program...

The Secret Sauce to Simplifying Healthy Lunches and Family Meals



ROUTINE 1: MEAL PLANNING:

I know. Ugh! Meal planning? I used to feel this way, too, and honestly it’s why I seldom created a meal plan and spent most of my days “winging it.” But winging it doesn’t work. It leads to burn out, reaching for quick-fix processed food meals, and stress. I was tired of living this way. After much trial and error, I developed the easy meal plan system that I now teach in this program.

ROUTINE 2: ROTATIONAL MEALS

Say hello to your new best friend that will completely change those icky feelings about meal planning. In order to make meal planning easy and automated, you’ll create a rotational meal list. At first, this list may just include lunch ideas, but it will soon grow to dinner and breakfast ideas, too. With this list, you’ll be able to quickly and easily create a meal plan each week (no more spending hours flipping through cookbooks or scrolling Pinterest for ideas that your kids and family may not like). We’ll create this list together and I’ll provide you with a ready-to-go list in the program and over 90 recipes to get you started with ideas.

ROUTINE 3: FOOD PREP

Food prep is the act of thinking about and preparing food before you need it. You’ll learn how to use your plan for the week to guide what you prep in advance, how to work smarter, not harder in the kitchen, and how to use your freezer and strategies like “cook once, eat twice” and healthy packaged food options to maximize your time and simplify your life.

“Going through the program is definitely giving me the energy and inspiration I need to keep going.”

I am working my way through your school lunch plan and am loving it. A real food diet is not new for me, but I have to say, I am so inspired and excited by your recipes. We’ve made a lot of changes in our home but had been falling back into some old habits I’m not proud of. Going through the program is definitely giving me the energy and inspiration I need to keep going.
