Online Course: Meal Planning for Real Life

Description

Meal Planning for Real Life: Stress-Free Meal Planning with Your Go-To Meals
A practical, no-nonsense workshop for anyone who’s tired of staring into the fridge at 5pm and wondering what’s for dinner.

In this course, you’ll learn how to build a flexible weekly meal planning system based entirely on the recipes and meals you already know and like. No pressure to try new recipes (unless you want to), and no shame if “leftovers night” is your go-to.

This isn’t a recipe collection—it’s a framework to help you finally make meal planning feel manageable, repeatable, and actually useful in your real life.

You’ll learn how to:

• Identify and organize the meals you already make and enjoy

• Create a flexible system for choosing meals each week without starting from scratch

• Plan for side dishes and simple add-ons to round out your meals

• Group your meals by custom themes that reflect your family’s real preferences

• Use a “plan once, reuse often” strategy to save time, reduce food waste, and simplify grocery shopping

• Incorporate pantry and freezer staples into your plan so you always have a fallback

• Adapt your plan seasonally if you want to—without pressure or perfectionism

• Make room for spontaneity, leftovers, and low-energy nights

Feedback from previous participants:

“I like the ‘plug and play’ idea – as well as your comment about not assigning meals to a specific day of the week. I have definitely been a victim of  ‘I planned for X tonight, but don’t feel like cooking it.’  Your tip helped me switch thinking to just having meals planned for the week and cooking from the list as we want vs being married to one”

“I enjoyed that the videos included filled out visuals of the workbook. Not just blank pages, this helped it feel more useful and something you utilize vs something you created but don’t use yourself.”

“It’s a great simple course to help walk you through meal planning in a sustainable way.”

“I liked it because it did not feel like an additional demand. For someone who is autistic and demand avoidant, doing the course at all is already a demand. The way you laid out the course made it feel like there were no additional/future demands stacked on.”

“I appreciate the repeated affirmations that it’s ok to have a handful of meals and to be realistic about what we already make and eat. The course felt like validation.”
