Parenting is hard enough. Cooking when you’re overwhelmed with screaming toddlers feels impossible. I’m Anna, and I help overwhelmed parents feed their little ones.
You know the cliché, it takes a village? Let us be your village and help you reach your dinner goals.
Take a deep breath. Release. Here’s our game plan:
- Before you even step into the kitchen, choose good enough
- Pick an approach:
- Option A: No-cook meal, or
- Option B: A buffet-style meal
- Cook. Sit down and breathe. Eat. Do it again.
