Description: Learn my 5 tips for having healthy meals every night without meal planning. Making 3 meals a day does not have to be complicated. In fact, it is super simple! I've noticed that when people want to start cooking from scratch, they think they need elaborate meal plans with dry erase boards neatly filled in with three meals a day. Baked blueberry pecan oatmeal for breakfast, Asian pesto curry for lunch and almond crusted parmesan tilapia for dinner... (I just made those titles up, by the way, but they really do all sound fabulous.) Just do a quick Pinterest search for "Paleo Recipes" and prepare to be overwhelmed. I love a good crispy coconut chicken with squash and parmesan fritters as much as the next person, but maybe for a Saturday night special dinner, or a night when I have a little extra time to spend in the kitchen... Which is pretty much never. I am a mom of six small kids! If you think you need to make Paleo safe coconut tortillas for every meal, that plan isn't something sustainable . No wonder people limit their healthy eating attempts to 30 days. Eating real food can feel so overwhelming when we hold ourselves to these standards! What ever happened to good old fashioned meat, vegetables and herbs? Back when my grandma was a mother of young children, I imagine she cooked a whole chicken, baked potatoes and maybe served it all with a biscuit and canned jam. No fancy recipes. Just real food.
