Meal planning–it's a love/hate relationship for me. I love having everything on hand when it's time to make dinner but sometimes I dread the actual process. If you're the same, come along with me and I'll give you my best tips to get it done so you have the ingredients you need to keep you on track. One thing I didn't mention in the episode is don't be afraid to put some convenience foods on your lists! Semi-homemade is great–think premade proteins like rotisserie chicken and pork carnitas along with pre-chopped vegetables available in the produce section. You don't have to do everything yourself, but do focus on helps that get more whole foods in your routine! NEW!!
