Main Points From Today’s Episode
- Don’t do things for your kids that they can do themselves. Katie believes her job is not to raise kids, it’s to raise adults.
- One way to eat healthy while on a budget is to incorporate seasonal foods into your menu. Katie has rotating seasonal meal plans and lists the ingredients she needs per person so she can easily increase the portions.
