Ask any mom and she will tell you why cooking is easy and planning the meals, isn’t! The biggest hurdle is in deciding what to eat, and after levels of voting and vetoing by family, you are exhausted and fed up. We, at KSP totally hear you, mommies! And that is why, we shared with you, what works like a charm with us- the Meal Plans. The idea when we started was simple, but the translation from the mind to paper involved a lot more than we thought. And with one step at a time, we are proudly in our 50th week of KSP Meal Plan! (Drumrolls!) We’ve asked fellow mommies to send in their favourite go-to recipes to feature them in our coming post and also compiled a list of the most popular meal plans (just in case, you missed them earlier!)
So what do moms at KSP refer to when they need to plan a perfect meal for their family? Not only should it help you with a range of recipes, but also help you in making your grocery lists and tell you exactly how much time you will need in the kitchen to make it.
