In this episode, I’m sharing the super simple dinner system that’s been saving my sanity lately — especially during busy weeks. I first discovered this idea from Amy Fritz on YouTube, and honestly, it’s been a game-changer.
It’s all about theme nights — think Soup Sunday, Pasta Monday, Taco Tuesday — and how having a basic framework makes grocery shopping and weeknight cooking so much easier. No more staring into the fridge at 4:00 wondering what to make.
I walk you through:
How I set up our week using flexible theme nights
Real-life examples of meals we rotate through for each night
Why this system works even if your schedule or appetite changes
How to make it your own based on what your family actually eats
If meal planning has been feeling overwhelming or you’re just ready for a refresh, I think you’ll love this simple approach that brings structure without rigidity.
💛 Thanks for listening! Come say hi over on Instagram [@joellesuess] and tell me your go-to theme night dinners!
