369. What’s for Dinner? What’s for lunch? Tips for slashing cook-time and boredom dinners and lunchboxes + addressing kids’ preferences, fussiness and agency within boundaries.

I’ve been chatting with the Low Tox Life community in DMs and groups lately about that moment when the year settles in and everything feels back to ‘normal’ for many people, especially families with the school year in full swing and no holidays around the corner. Rhythms, routines and getting done what’s got to get done in the week, whether we’re working, at school, or whatever else is going on. I find a lot of gratitude in the mundane. Maybe it’s become I’ve lived through a lot of instability of both health and home and finances through the mould years, or because I moved countries 3 times before I was 5 and then had to live with my grandparents for a bit while my baby sister was really sick and poor mum was at the hospital… The boring routine of a week is actually a great relief and joy for me. But I get it’s not that way for many, and the making of dinners and lunch boxes day after day feels more chore than ‘yay’ - throw endless demands for more ‘fun’ food, more food like so and so is eating, or your kid getting teased for being the ‘real food kid’ and it can be exhausting. Plus? I learnt polling you in my Instagram Stories the other day that most people make - wait for it - INDIVIDUAL MEALS ONE AT A TIME. So, I thought I’d record a show to address all of the things with tips and tricks, an excerpt from my 2nd book to get us jazzed about bucking the system and providing as much real food for our families and ourselves as we can and release a couple of cooking classes.
