interning full time and learning all the things future lawyers need to know i m starting to see the light more often than the dark but still have days where grief swamps me i m cooking and enjoying my time in the kitchen again we are entering in the hot and humid season here in north carolina so there will be a lot more stylings on sandwiches and salads the further we get into the summer jambalaya made with pork and smoked alligator sausage steamed shrimp with corn and potatoes salad with feta and grilled chicken banh mi sea island peas with rice and collard greens what do our households look like heather is married with six children two are preschoolers and four are teenagers three teenagers are there full time one is there mainly on weekends during school but more whenever school is not in session family nights out are generally cost prohibitive and saved for special occasions we are working hard to eliminate takeout a habit that developed when heather s depression flared badly for most of 21 lisa is a new widow with a child in their first year of law school after her husband s catastrophic diagnosis in 2020 she cooked daily but the burnout from being in heavy lockdown during the past three years means there are days when she doesn t want to cook at all and has leaned on takeout a little too much she s working on changing her cooking habits and adapting to this new journey with easy to prep skillet meals and foods that test her skills in the kitchen once again what are our current menu plan challenges multiple schedules business travel neurodivergencies empty nest large family changing tastes due to medication burnout fatigue food intolerances depression anxiety grief all these things affect not only what we choose to cook but whether or not we have the energy or wherewithal executive function to make what we choose we are no longer young adults but we remember those years well home ec 101 was started in part by that overwhelming 4 00 pm dread of not knowing what to make that was a result of not having learned the life skills as kids we re here to help we ve got an entire series on menu planning a free printable to plan your menu and shopping list and
