Summary

Our “Week Of Real-Life Dinners” is beloved around these parts, and we have another installment coming up next month! And while normalizing the pivots and misses (and hastily ordered pizzas) that characterize EVERY family’s real-life dinners is super important, we also know that revisiting the values and ideals that serve as your foundation can help re-energize the meal-planning process. In short: there’s nothing wrong with real-life dinners, but there’s also nothing wrong with shooting for an ideal plan. In Episode 331 Meagan and Sarah reflect on the what’s and why’s of our own week of ideal family meals, acknowledging the pain points we’re trying to avoid and the north star we’re shooting toward. We also look at the “ingredients” that go into a week of meals that nearly hits that elusive ideal. Join us!

0:05.2	little to grown. We're in different areas of the country and in different stages
0:09.0	of life, but we both know that motherhood's a lot easier when real moms share
0:12.7	tips and encouragement. And remind you that it's really all gonna be okay. We're

0:37.7	hungry as often happens when we record about food and it's like shoot. Don't
0:42.0	it all gonna have to wait an hour. Oh, I know. It's like if you don't stuff
0:45.5	something interface right before you start, it's gonna be a bit of a way. Well,
0:48.3	we just recently did an episode where we talked about like kind of like an
0:54.0	imaginary real life day, which is like the ideal we would have if we could
0:59.8	actually shape what we think of as like a perfect day. But we specifically did
1:05.1	not talk about food too much because I think we said like we could talk all day
1:08.8	about food. And then several listeners were like, Hey, I would like for you to
1:13.0	talk all day about food. Is that about right? Yeah, that is about right. And just
1:17.2	in case you didn't hear that episode, the twist on ideal is that it's the
