About this episode
Hey lovely ? Welcome back to the Lovely Home Podcast! I’m your host, Evelyn, and around here we focus on grace over guilt in your mind, life, and home — with Christ as our foundation. In today’s episode, I’m sharing my personal meal planning system — the one that helps me consistently meal plan and prep meals (including breakfast!) without spiraling into pressure. This is a hybrid method using recipe cards + Pinterest, and it’s designed to be simple, fast, and sustainable. We’re talking: How to choose your “core” 10–15 go-to recipes How to organize them into categories (dinner, breakfast, lunch, snacks) How to use cookbooks without flipping forever And my favorite hack: writing a recipe link on the back of a card so you can scan it with your phone and jump straight to the recipe (no endless Pinterest scrolling!) If you want to give this method a try, here’s what you’ll need: note cards, a pen, a recipe box (optional), a Pinterest account, your phone, and your cookbooks.
