My biggest tip? Make meals that stretch into more than one dinner. Casseroles, big pots of spaghetti and meatballs, stews, chowders—they all freeze or reheat well. Eat your leftovers! If leftovers aren’t your thing, meal planning is key. Sit down and make a 7-day plan together. Shop smart. And don’t overlook supermarket hacks: a big frozen pizza you jazz up, beef ravioli in broth with spinach (15 minutes!), or rotisserie chicken turned into chicken & couscous. Even frozen lasagna can save your day. You got this. Small wins add up. 🥘❤️ #SingleParentStrong #BudgetCooking #MealPlanningWins #EasyFamilyMeals #LeftoverLove
