Meals That Do Double Duty

Cook once, eat three times. That rotisserie chicken becomes chicken tacos on Monday, chicken fried rice on Wednesday, and chicken soup on Friday. Same ingredient, different presentations, and your kids think they're getting variety.

Breakfast for dinner saves you when you're exhausted. Scrambled eggs, toast, and fruit takes ten minutes and gives your kids protein and nutrients. There's no rule that says dinner needs to be complicated.

The Game-Changing Mindset Shift

Stop comparing your meals to Instagram perfection. Your job is to feed your children nutritious food consistently—not to perform culinary excellence every night.

Some nights will be cereal and fruit. Some nights will be frozen pizzas. And that's okay, because you're managing an entire household alone while working and raising humans.

The parents who seem to have it all together? They're either lying, have more help than they admit, or they've learned to lower their standards to sustainable levels.
