Today on Raising Healthy Mothers I'm talking to Claire Gillies of Delicious and Real all about meal planning. If you're anything like me you know you're supposed to meal plan to make life easier, save money and avoid food waste. But actually getting started can be overwhelming! And what about if your plans change?   That's why I invited Claire on to talk about how she meal plans, why she started and how the benefits. We talked about... How eating as a family can help with fussy eating How meal planning can give children the confidence to try new food How food is so much more than just nutrition and fuel How cooking and meal planning is an important life skill for our children to graduate with I loved this episode because Claire's values around food and cooking are so aligned with mine. And she gives some huge hope for families with a fussy eater - her daughter was a fussy eater and now loves food at 16 years old! We also found ourselves talking a lot about the culture of food and what it means to eat together as a family.   "Food is the glue that binds us together"   Claire has a meal planning subscription service where she sends you a 7-day meal plan and shopping list, which you can customise using her recipe archives which has over 200 recipes!
