Plan a Month of Meals That Actually Fits Your Life

Meal plans look great until a real week happens and you order a takeaway by Tuesday. This builds around the three kinds of evening you actually have, easy, medium, and proper cooking, so the plan survives a tired Wednesday. For households who want to eat better and spend less but keep abandoning plans that ignore real life.
