Meal Planning

Build a Week of Stress-Free Meals in 30 Minutes

What if I told you that the difference between weeknight chaos and weeknight calm is just half an hour on Sunday? Most of us spend more time scrolling through recipe apps deciding what to cook than we'd spend actually planning our meals for the week. According to research from Ohio State University, households that meal plan save an average of $40 per week and reduce food waste by nearly 50%. But here's the real magic: they also report significantly lower dinnertime stress levels. The secret isn't complicated cooking or expensive ingredients—it's having a simple system that works with your life, not against it.
