Meal Planning for Busy Moms | Dinner Ideas, Quick, Delicious, Healthy, Easy Meal Prep

Hey there, beautiful Mamas!

Today’s episode is extra special because I’m inviting you on a new and exciting journey. While meal planning will always be a part of this podcast, I’m expanding our focus to help you reduce overwhelm, manage stress, and create a life filled with calm, balance, and joy.

Sundays will remain dedicated to your weekly meal plans, but starting this Wednesday, I’ll be sharing new episodes that take a deeper dive into stress reduction and holistic living.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• Why I’m shifting the focus of the podcast and what it means for you.
• Five-Minute Stress Busters you can use to find calm—even on your busiest days.
• This week’s meal plan with seven delicious, quick, and healthy recipes to keep your week running smoothly.

Tune in to learn more about this new chapter and how it can help you create more peace in your life.

This Week’s Meal Plan:

1. Monday: Sheet Pan Lemon Garlic Chicken with Asparagus and Baby Potatoes (a one-pan wonder for a busy night)
   
2. Tuesday: Slow Cooker Beef Stew with Root Vegetables (set it and forget it)
