Meal Planning Tips to Make Life Easier for All

School has started already and for families with school-aged kids life just got a LOT busier. Trying to find a balance between work, school, and home lives can leave little time for meal planning, which can lead to fast food stops or expensive restaurant trips.

Way back in 2014, we did an episode called “Meal Planning 101” in which we shared some basics of meal planning. We’ve learned a few things about meal planning since then and have become much more consistent (but we still have work to do!).

In this episode of the Vegetarian Zen Podcast, we’re going to share 10 meal planning tips that can help you stay on target with your health and financial goals.
