I stopped meal planning and this is what happened

I wanted meal plans to work SO bad.

I loved the idea of them.
I craved the certainty of them…

But try as I might, they never fit with our unconventional life.

A set-in-stone structure doesn’t work with the many moving pieces of our weeks.

Plus, typical plans called for constant grocery runs (my least favorite thing) and out of season ingredients that never jived with what I had out in the garden or in my freezers.

But my inability to stick with a normal meal plan ended up being a gift.

Little did I know it would be the catalyst that taught me how to really cook.

Over the years, I’ve learned to cook by feel, rather than formula— just like our great-grandmothers would have. It’s been one of the most empowering shifts I’ve ever had in the kitchen.

I know many of you are in my same boat— you want to put wholesome food on the table, but conventional plans just don’t work for you.

I’m working on something special to help with this. It’s not ready yet, but if you’re craving meal frameworks that flow with your unique life, you’re gonna love it.
