Having all the dishes done and pans and ingredients on the side really helps If it’s late you don’t want to clean for an hour first I agree Comment from : @dawncox4019 |

We stopped going out 75 less often At first our evening meals were pretty bland and boring and repetitive at that We’re slowly learning how to cook better and it is saving us money and time in the long run I think the quality of the food is a big improvement too Comment from : @Xanduur |

Such great tips! You are so right about sitting at the table together -it does help to bring family closer And, definitely, getting the children involved in serving, cleaning and helping is so important in for them grow in life skills, and in their sense of family service (bear one another's burdens, serving one another in love) Bravo for you efforts and the fruit they are bearing God bless!

Looking forward to the Instant pot video! We struggle with meal planning and food waste, so constantly fine tuning meal planning Comment from : @emilyhobbs5896 |
|
So excited about this series!! Comment from : @SpurlockCassie |
|
Great video and tips I agree all the way down the line Getting your children involved helps create a 'team' or 'tribe' mentality They need to know they are an important, contributing member of the team Their effort is needed and appreciated and missed when they aren't there to contribute Play is how children learn Play cooking, play at being mommy and daddy, play teacherbut at some point they need to do real things Letting them contribute to the running of the house is as necessary to their development and growing up as going to school More so in my opinion True story: I worked in fast food for years Teens would come to work for the summer and I would tell them now you can go wipe down tables, sweep the floors, mop the floor, whatever You might be surprised at how many didn't know how to hold a broom, or use a cloth to wipe a table Enough of my ramble You and Tom are doing a great job with your children and you are bringing light and good sense to your viewers Comment from : @nanasblessings |

You are a blessing! 💜 Comment from : @lisakrushinski9436 |

Dawn, excellent video! So many young moms need to know this When my kids were young it was a struggle :-) but it all starts with meal planning Yes I want to learn more about how to use my instant pot I got one for Christmas and I thought I would use it all the time, but I hardly ever use it so looking forward to that video! You are so inspiring I love your videos! Comment from : @andreagorham1985 |
|
We love our Instant Pots! We have two A 6 quart which we make Greek yogurt in every week because that’s my children’s primary breakfast and an 8 quart for dinners I can’t wait to see all your instant pot meal ideas! Comment from : @sparklejesusfreak |

Stay at home, homeschooling mama here as well! 💗 Sending love from Idaho! Comment from : @SimplyLivingIt |
|
This is so good! For medefinitely planning is key! If I something have my meals somewhat planned outit's going to be a disaster for sure! And so agreeI have never enjoyed cooking eitherbut, as long as I have stuff planned out- it's sure to be a success! Thanks for sharing! Comment from : @SimplyLivingIt |
|
Love all of your tips and am looking forward to more videos in this series I am just getting back to cooking at home and enjoying it Thank you Dawn for helping me do that! Comment from : @janconn1078 |
|
Ready for the Instapot info I bought one, but have never used it It is taunting me from the cupboard! Comment from : @lenarrhodes |
|
Hahahaha I totally am supposed to be cooking supper LolbrWe very rarely eat out because we have so many food allergies, but I will admit, most of the time supper is later than it should be Comment from : @gratituderanch9406 |
|
I saw you referenced in Tiffanyferg’s new video I haven’t finished watching it yet but wanted to let you know Comment from : @MsK_in_CA |
|
So simple but so powerful! I'm going to start prepping and setting out my dinner stuff early I think this one change is going to make a big difference in ongoing motivation to cook at home Thanks for sharing! Comment from : @Jesussavioursonofgod |
|
Yes yes yes! I have 6 kids who keep me very busy and we try to eat out only twice a month or less This has been doable with lots of prep: I keep a tight meal plan, i always have some good food prep done which includes precooking meat such as ground beef, pork roast and chicken, also rice and beans cooked ahead (which take longer to cook) I used to think that if I did this I would always feel like we were eating “leftovers” but in actuality, every meal feels fresh and unique but comes from a simple set of ingredients and comes together quickly when I have done things to limit the work at dinner time Thanks for this video! Comment from : @Kathryninchrist |
|
Can’t wait for the next videos and would love to see recipe videos 😊 Comment from : @elliepeeps5461 |
|
We love salads and give us a fresh veggie with many of our meals On my meal prep day (Mon) I wash and chop salad toppings and put them in separate containers Things like purple cabbage, shredded carrots, califlower, broccoli They last in the frig for our week and it's super easy to throw it together with prewashed lettuce/spinach mix or just chop up the lettuce you need day of Comment from : @vsvizcarra |
|
I'm so excited for the next few videos! Comment from : @bkzification |
|
Since we eat only vegan, cooking is so much easier and of course more delicious! Love not having the negative vibes of dead animals in my kitchen 💚 Comment from : @daniela140585 |
|
I've got 3 kids 3 and under, and I just don't have time or energy to cut up vegetables I buy frozen and use those, and my prep time might only be 30 seconds It's a huge help No, it's not as good as fresh, but it is way better than most fast food Comment from : @LivetolearnMama |
|
Great tips! Thanks for sharing! Comment from : @ACommonLife |
|
I don’t enjoy cooking either! We still cook every meal at home and I just push through the cooking lol My problem is making a nice meal that my kids complain about and usually won’t eat 😂 eventually they will grow out if this stage 🤞 Good tips ! Comment from : @shannontorrens1 |
|
Stayed home for 18 years and homeschooling and I struggled with dinners But now working full time- we don’t eat!😑 Comment from : @sandytoes3373 |
|
Dawn, your videos are so refreshingly honest, relatable and life-changing! One thing I do is keep a short list of favorite main dish recipes by meat Example: Favorite recipes for ground beef, chicken, roast, etc That way I can quickly look at the weekly meat sales and quickly put together my week's meal plan as well as take advantage of the sales Keep up the great work, Dawn!! Comment from : @dianesnider3148 |
|
Instapot tips?? Yes please!!!! Comment from : @keetz8490 |
|
I wish I had followed these ideas before my kids became teens It's much harder to turn that ship around when they're grown 😉 Comment from : @auntpurl5325 |
|
You are excellent at troubleshooting the typical problems and offering practical solutions I find your channel is time well spent and I oftennealk away refreshed and inspired Comment from : @auntpurl5325 |
|
Every time I watch one of your videos I have the surreal experience of thinking you are the little angel on my shoulder countering the little devil telling me I am lazy and unorganized You give voice to all those thoughts I have hidden away that I thought made me a bad homemaker! (I don't like cooking, I don't want to deal with all that paper, I can't keep track of too much inventory, etc) Thank you for being an inspiration to someone that has never had luck with the systems set up for all those perfectly organized bloggers and friends! Comment from : @slreding13 |
|

I’ve started using Walmart grocery pickup since my 2nd trimester and LOVE it- makes meal planning and money saving so much easier! And isn’t as stressful or overwhelming as going into the supermarket Also, your highlights look pretty! They look lighter than they have in other videos Looks good on you😘 Comment from : @hannah |
|
Hi Dawn! I wanted to tell you that I started your meal planning/grocery list system a few weeks ago, and it has been wildly successful at my house! Not only has my stress gone down, but my family has a whole list of breakfast and lunch ideas on the fridge at all times so it’s not all up to me to supply them with ideas On Sundays, I have each person in my family highlight one or two dinners they want that week, and I shop on Mondays I love this system SO MUCH No more hangry people at my house—THANK YOU!!! Bless you for this amazing system 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Comment from : @tawnytuppence5573 |
|
Prep fruits and veggies in the weekend and put them in single serve containers for snacks, meals, etc I also sectioned off and labeled part of the fridge for meal prep There is nothing worse than going to cook dinner and finding that someone has eaten your ingredients This way, everyone knows what they can’t eat and your chalk board/white board idea has been working well to remind them what they can eat!
