  1. Hi Rain!

    This is a great plan! I like the "just in case" meals to for well, just in case! I think the trouble I am having is trying to wrap my head around how to get started. Do I start batch cooking first? Make a pantry list? Assess what I have and what I need? Then my anxiety kicks in and I get overwhelmed. Then I get mad at myself for allowing me to get anxious over meal planning. :)

    Could you share with me how you got started? I need a base to start from clearly!
