Episode 14: Weeknight Dinner Solutions #EditYourLifeShow

Modern-day dinners aren’t exactly Rockwellian. More typically, they involve a revolving door of family members tired and hungry after a busy day, with cooks who likely are lacking in motivation or sheer minutes to do a ton of prep work. Fear not! In this episode of Edit Your Life, Christine and I share 9 tips for weekday dinner solutions related to planning (minimalist planning!), efficiency, execution, outsourcing, and general mindshifts about what family dinner really looks like.
