Description

In this continuation of our conversation on food and meal planning, Danielle Sullivan and Anne Elrod Whitney explore flexible approaches to feeding yourself and your family without falling into perfectionism.


From theme nights and ingredient-based planning to freezer meals, “forage” dinners, and safe food lists, they share practical strategies for reducing overwhelm. Along the way, they talk about sharing responsibility for cooking, making meals enjoyable, and moving away from rigid food rules toward a more sustainable, compassionate approach to eating.
