Some days you have the energy to cook from scratch. Other days, just deciding what’s for dinner feels completely impossible.

When a chronic illness flare strikes or severe fatigue sets in, the best gift you can give yourself is a meal that requires zero mental load. In this post, I am sharing three of my go-to "good enough" family dinners—Apricot Chicken, Curried Sausage Stew, and Butter Chicken. Designed for a gluten-free household, these recipes are simple, forgiving, and rely on clever shortcuts to conserve your limited energy. Learn how to feed your family without the guilt, because sometimes the best meal is simply the one you had the capacity to make.

Reduce your mental load while saving energy, time and money by utilising your freezer for your family’s meals.

It’s taken me almost 8 years and three children to discover what works for running my household. One key tool I use is my freezer system and I’m confident that you’ll be able to adapt at least a few of these to your own home to create less stress around food and feeding a family.
