Meal planning for busy schedules
When the schedule is unpredictable, the plan has to be forgiving. Plan for the time you'll actually have, not the time you wish you had.
Set a realistic cooking time
If most evenings allow 20 minutes, plan 20-minute meals. A 45-minute recipe on a Tuesday is a plan that fails.
Build in freezer meals
Two portions in the freezer cover the nights nothing goes to plan.
Repeat lunches deliberately
Eating the same lunch three days running removes decisions and shopping complexity.
