Does the idea of meal planning make your eye twitch? You're not alone, sweet friend.
In today’s episode of The Slay At Home Podcast, we’re breaking down how to feed your family without spreadsheets, themed dinner nights, or a rigid plan. If you’ve ever hit that 4:57 PM panic of “What are we eating tonight?”—this one’s for you.
This episode is your permission slip to let go of perfection and lean into simple, nourishing, flexible food habits that actually fit your real life.
We’re talking: 🍽 Busting the myth of the “perfect” meal plan 🛒 Smart staples to keep on hand for no-plan dinners 🥦 The “ingredient, not recipe” mindset that changes everything 🌯 5 flexible meals from one grocery haul 🧺 How a little prep (or none!) still gets the job done 🙏 Encouragement for feeding your people with love—not pressure
You don’t need to meal prep like a YouTuber to be a good mom. You don’t have to make everything from scratch. God sees your faithfulness—even when dinner is tortillas and cheese (again).
So grab your coffee, your earbuds, and maybe a cart at Aldi—and let’s simplify what dinner looks like in your home.
