Pre-kids, I LOVED cooking. Pottering about in the kitchen with a glass of wine, standing over the stove enjoying the soothing repetition of stirring risotto...
Yeah. That changed completely when the kids came along!
Can anyone else relate to this?

Yep, me too. I needed to make life in the kitchen a bit easier and for me, that meant finding a simple way to:
- Plan out our meals
- Get dinner on the table no matter how busy we were that day
- Reduce the number of complaints we got from the kids about our dinner choices
Watch the video below to see how we do it in our house:
