Travel Secret

Here's a little travel tip from my personal experience: My partner and I often whip up most of our meals at home to save some extra cash for our adventures. It’s tempting to dine out or order takeout, but we remind ourselves that by staying in, we can savor a meal in a charming café halfway across the world. This little trick has allowed us to travel more often. Sure, it takes some discipline and self-control, but the joy of exploring new places makes it all worthwhile.

Start a Healthy Regime with a Meal Planner

I don't make meals every day as I like saving my time for other important things that matter to me. Even before we had a baby, my husband and I loved the freedom of not worrying about "what's for dinner". We kept it simple, prepare on the weekends or whenever we're both off and do the meal prep that will last us for days. I also use a weekly meal planner to plan our meals in advance, stay on track with our wellness goals, and ensure that we have all the necessary ingredients. Preparing meals is a great way to ensure you have food to eat when you return from traveling. Just heat it up and enjoy!

To use a weekly meal planner effectively, start by selecting your weekly recipes, creating a grocery list, and then preparing your ingredients in advance. This will make cooking and mealtime easier and less stressful. Remember to be flexible and adjust your plan as needed. Happy meal planning!
