So why does it feel like it takes so much effort & time to do so?
Let me guess.... you'd love to be able to cook delicious, healthy meals every week for your people.
But... a wild guess, that you're probably not loving (or don't have) the crazy amount of time, energy and the mental load it takes to do so every week?
* You know that eating good & REal food is the foundation of a healthy life *
Well, because it's true:
... is it even possible to cook every week without spending hours researching & vetting recipes... and ending in decision fatigue?
.... how to stay inspired to cook every week when you don't have hours to spare?
.... how to cook for everyone at your table: aka, factoring in different preferences, food sensitivities, schedules, without going crazy or being a short-order cook.
....how to maximize the time you are spending in the kitchen...without Sunday marathon meal prep cooking sessions that take up the whole day?
...or how do you actually maximize your time and energy in the kitchen (so you can get time in your life back)?
So. Many. Questions.
You're not alone, my friend.
you might be wondering things like:
...but you're trying your best to juggle it all.
Whether its the "how-is-it-already-5pm-already?!" panicked-rummaging through the fridge (while everyone -including you- are already hungry and tired), or feeling guilty as you *once again* have to throw out all the fresh produce that's already gone bad this week, or that your local take-out place knows you by first name.... have you ever promised yourself that you're gonna be better about cooking dinner--- but it's not exactly happening?
You are a busy woman, with an even more full life.
Even with the best intentions, meal planning & cooking can sometimes feel like FULL TIME JOB.
On top of what you're already doing.
Whether it's the constant pressure of finding new ideas, getting your shopping organized for the week, executing those ideas after a busy day, juggling different tastebuds or sensitivities too....and, sister? I see you. I know it can be chaotic.
Because when life gets busy, it's often the first thing to go.
Let me guess.......
It's what we've all been taught: that eating healthy is a lot of work. It requires sacrifice, perfection, a lot of time, effort and energy (for it to count).
And it can
Eating healthy is one thing. But doing it consistently and in the midst of your real (& very busy) life? It's an entirely different thing. And a skill that we're never taught how to do.
Overwhelming-- trying to juggle cooking with real life schedules, commitments, obligations & different preferences
Mentally draining... especially at the end of a long day
Time consuming... because well, hi, you're busy with so many other things in life right now too.
Like a full time job in itself... that some weeks you just don't have time for.
feel...
Struggling to think of what to make everyday that's quick AND healthy... or spending an entire weekend afternoon, figuring it out
Feeling chaotic around meal times (without having to make full meal plans every week)
Wasting so much money on expensive takeout or produce that goes bad too quickly.
Wasting so much time on the process of finding recipes, shopping, planning & cooking
Putting so much pressure on yourself to do everything on your own (and get help in the areas of life that matter most)
Being all-or-nothing with your weekly cooking (either trying to do it all planned out and perfectly.....or not at all). Imagine if you could find a happy, more relaxed middle ground.
Lighten the mental load for yourself, in a area that is a part of your daily life?
One of the biggest keys to a healthy lifestyle that lasts? It's knowing how to cook in a way that doesn't drain you.
and most of us are making it
more complicated
than it needs to be
Truth: it doesn't have to be a chore that takes hours every week, in order to have an IMPACT.
Because trust me, I know....that sometimes after a long and busy day, it might feel easier to call the takeout delivery guy (again).
Or frantically rummage through the pantry knowing you've got to get something on the table in less than 15 minutes (aka, boxed pasta it is again), before everyone falls apart (you included).
Real food is a powerful force in our lives.
And knowing how to make it, simply, Easily and consistently, makes you unstoppable.
But it's rarely talked about in a way that makes it simple & realistic to actually do. Aka, in real life.
But here's the thing-- our work, committments, kids, crazy schedules- they're not going to magically disappear.
We have to stop waiting for more time, And use the time we do have, more efficiently.
So we can learn how to cook in the midst of our real (and busy) lives.
Let's make this easy on you. Because you are already doing enough.

I'm a small business owner, wife and A mama of 3 ... (among other things). And life is pretty, well busy.
As a nutrition coach, healthy lifestyle & wellness expert, two-time bestselling cookbook author, it's been lifelong mission to teach women how to simplify their food so they can simplify (and amplify) their lives.
.....and with all of that, it would be easy to *assume* that cooking for myself (and now my family) each week would be effortless thing for me. But, it's an art. And it's been a learned practice. With a lot of failed meals and attempts along the way. And no matter how busy life became, this much I knew was true:
Instead of believing the lie that eating healthy food is an ALL or NOTHING thing: that you're either elbow deep in meal planning & cooking every single night, or winging it (or ordering out), I believe that there is a middle ground.
The land of gray, if you will. A way for cooking and our food to SIMPLE enough for real life, so that we'll actually do it. And therefore, able to do it consistently.
Because that is how a healthy life style is created-- in small, tiny things and acts done daily, woven in to our real lives.
I created this site & tool so that after a busy day, you can relax knowing that it's all taken care of.
That you can off-load more than half of this process, and make it so much more enjoyable and do-able for yourself.
So you can be a better example of what healthy truly means, take the pressure off yourself to be doing it all (and all the time), feel proud about the way you're eating, and know that any time you do spend in the kitchen, that it will be a great use of your precious time.
Get instant access to thousands of real-food recipes, weekly inspiration & adjustable shopping lists, all fully customized to exactly what you need, so that you can head into each week feeling calm, organized, and more intentional about your food.
I believe in this project with my whole heart. My goal is to help as many busy people as possible to get educated, feel inspired, and have the exact tools they need to cook and prep real-food meals more simply each week, because healthier lives start in our own homes and kitchens first.

No. All you need is real food: back to the basics. Fresh vegetables and fruit (frozen are great too). A few good pantry staples (all of which you can find at almost every grocery store or online in bulk). Some good quality meat, eggs, and protein (as best you can find or afford). This option is meant for everyone who wants to eat real food, regardless of income.
Short answer: you can use this tool as a resource however and whenever you want-- on the weeks you do want to plan ahead (whether that's 1 meal a week or 7), or save it for the weeks when you need some extra inspiration (or when you know things will be busy). It's resource & tool to have in your back pocket.
