On today's episode, I am telling you the meal planning mistake I made last week!

I use my own free weekly meal plan for simple, healthy meal ideas for my family. But what I failed to do was actually work through step one from my Meal Planning Playbook.

The good news is, as I share on today's episode, we can always course correct midweek and learn from our mistakes next week. And I am thankful for the permission to grow in this area I have learned to give myself instead of setting unrealistically high ideals that exhaust me to try to carry out.

It's really, really hard to be consistent with those kinds of self-imposed demands amidst all the real-life demands we as moms carry.

So, take your meal plan this week and run it through a real run through, like that outlined in my Meal Planning Playbook. Doing so will help you identify ways that you can make your family's meal plan work smarter for you...so you don't find yourself needing to work harder than you already do!

Is your child either screaming, crying, calling for you, or climbing all over you any time you try to get food ready to put on the table? Does it feel intimidating to offer new foods because you don’t know how to handle your child’s response? Do you wrestle with what behaviors aren’t that big of a deal and which ones are creating bad habits when feeding your family? Do you feel like your fridge is always full and yet you only ever offer the same few foods … simply because clicking “reorder cart” is way easier than having to rethink what to buy and make each week?I so get this, mama.That’s why, on this podcast, you will find simple meal and snack ideas (that don’t require a lot of effort or ingredients), practical tips for meal planning and prep amidst mom life, and dietitian mom feeding advice that is both evidenced-based and yet grace-laced.My mission is to help normalize that feeding your family is a hard job. And yet, amidst your everyday efforts, I want to encourage you and equip you with the hacks and know-hows you need to find ease around your child’s eating habits. I know you may feel internally anxious about what you are offering your kids and like it’s unattainable to get your child to eat enough variety. That’s why each episode outlines feeding basics that build upon one another to promote the nutritional balance and feeding behaviors you feel good about your child growing up with.Hey friend, I‘m Ashley Smith - registered dietitian nutritionist and a Christian mom who is also making dinner with kids constantly at her ankles. I built this business out of the necessity I saw for getting good nutrition in my own less-than-perfect eaters. From my first child being the kid who was picky early on and yet wouldn’t sleep without a full belly, to the breast feeding nightmares and onset of postpartum anxiety after my second child, to the food intolerances and survival strategies of pandemic parenting with my third child, I know feeding our families amidst the demands of each day can make us all crave instant wins. That’s why I wanted this podcast to become an easy button in your home so you could simply add to cart a few new ideas each week while experiencing my empathy in our shared experiences as moms.So if you‘re ready to find flexible meal + snack ideas that are manageable rather than monotonous...meal planning options that are easily organized instead of overwhelming (and have my busy mom stamp of approval on them)… and eating habits that empower you to regularly offer nutritious food while finding freedom, flexibility, and fun when feeding your family, you are in the right place!Pull up a stool at my kitchen counter and let me pour you a cup of coffee. It’s time to chat about the meal times, messes, moments, and ministry of motherhood. I am thankful you’re here.CONNECT:Instagram: @veggiesandvirtueCommunity: www.facebook.com/groups/veggiesandvirtueEmail: ashley@veggiesandvirtue.comWebsite: www.veggiesandvirtue.com
