1/5-1/11 On the Menu

There's something about the new year that makes us want to reset, isn't there? Maybe you're looking at your bank statement and cringing at how much went to doordash in December. Or maybe you're just tired of the cycle—ordering takeout because you're exhausted, then feeling guilty about what your family ate, then being too overwhelmed to change it.

Here's the thing: you don't need a complete kitchen overhaul or a perfect pantry to make a real difference this year. What you need is a plan! Because when you know what's for dinner and have the ingredients ready to go, suddenly homemade doesn't feel so hard. That's exactly what this week of meals is designed to do—take the guesswork out so you can actually follow through.

These recipes aren't complicated. They're the kind of meals that prove you can feed your family real food without spending hours in the kitchen or breaking the bank. We're talking crispy orange chicken that rivals takeout, a roasted chicken dinner that practically cooks itself, and comfort food classics like meatloaf and Italian chicken pasta. Nothing fancy, just good food made from scratch!
