Hey, welcome back to Going Scared. I'm Jessica Honegger, founder of the World Changing

Brand New Day Collection, and I'm so glad to have you here for today's conversation.

Our Going Scared community gathers here every week for direct and honest conversations

that help you live a life of courage by leaving comfort and going scared. I can't think

of, okay, maybe outside of brushing your teeth, but the habit of cooking dinner and eating

dinner, which ultimately means we got a plan dinner. I put this out there on Instagram

a few months ago that I was going to start taking over meal planning in our family from

Joe, and I have never seen more impassioned response on anything I've ever posed on Instagram.

So I thought, wow, we need to do a podcast on this habit of meal planning. And so of course

I had to have on Holly Erickson of the Modern Proper. Holly Erickson is the second half

of the Modern Proper, which is a food blog and Instagram account, and is now a book that's

about, guess what, weeknight meals. I love talking to Holly because she's living this.

Her husband is an entrepreneur. She's got three kids that are eight and under. She cooks.

She really cooks. And you're going to hear, my daughter actually babysits for her kids

and often a cleans up her kitchen for her, which, you know, I love that she's also training

my daughter on how to be a good babysitter. Modern Proper was born out of this idea that

they wanted to pull together easy meals for the busy person. Meals that are healthy and

great, but simple and that you can throw together if you want to have friends over last

minute or if you just have one of those weeknights where you got to feed the fam and don't

know what to do. That is mainly what we talk about today. What are those six go-to recipes

that Holly has on hand? And let me tell you, I took away about three new recipes that

are going to be new staples in our family. I'm excited for you to get this show a listen.
