Good morning, Reader,

Controversial info onboard!

This month I am focusing on keeping things SIMPLE to help you stay on track with your goals in 2025.

Today I want to talk about your MEALS … because a lot of times we’re led to believe that the more complicated and “fancy” our nutrition is, the better.

Here’s one GREAT way to keep it simple:

Come up with a “food formula” that works for you, that includes meals that...

1. you love,
2. are simple and easy to throw together, and
3. align with your health & wellness goals

And simply rotate meals that follow that formula throughout the week!

You do NOT have to reinvent gourmet meals every time you sit down to eat … or constantly come up with new ideas every day.

Having a go-to formula works in several different ways:

• It simplifies your shopping and food prep.
• It removes “decision fatigue,” which can happen when you’re forced to make choices all day long. The more decisions you make, the harder it becomes to make good ones!
• It helps stop that overwhelming feeling you can get when you’re wondering whether your choices are “right” or “wrong” or “good” or “bad.”
• It saves you time and energy and can actually help you stay on track.

This works whether you’re prepping meals for yourself or a houseful of picky eaters.

You can even use a nice app that does most of the planning for you. Personally, I use eMeals. Every week, it puts a plan together for me, creates my shopping list, and provides tons of other options.

Check them out HERE.

Personally, it’s SUCH a relief NOT to have the “what’s for dinner” question hanging over my head every day.

Do you have a list of go-to recipes that you eat on a regular basis?

What are some of your favorites? Head over to my FREE Facebook Group and share your favorite go-to recipes with everyone. People are always looking for ideas.

Hope this helps make your meal planning a little easier.
