If you are not yet subscribed to my Substackthis is where I get a little more personal: I write from the heart about self-care, motherhood, wellness, and everything in between. This post resonated with our community there, so today I wanted to share an excerpt with you here.
Confession: I’ve spent the last few months in a complete drought in the kitchen.

I’m not sure when that changed, but suddenly I’m thinking about new recipes and my brain is firing on all cylinders again. I’m full of new meal ideas that I want to cook with winter products that I won’t be able to do them all before spring. (I have a whole theory about how creative hibernation actually leads to these bursts of inspiration, but I’ll save that for another article.)

So today I’m sharing how I plan healthy meals during the week which infinitely adapt to your family’s dietary preferences.
Here are the four meal designs I’m cooking on repeat at the moment. They’re simple enough to throw together on a busy weeknight, but interesting enough that I’m actually excited cook again. And the best? You can change them depending on what’s in your fridge.
