Meal Planning

Meal preparation requires planning, budgeting, and organization skills not commonly associated with ADHD. Here, get easy dinner ideas, plus strategies for streamlining grocery shopping and establishing routines to make your mealtimes come together better.

ADHD moms often have trouble planning meals because they forget what to buy or feel overwhelmed by all the choices at the store. Create index cards of meals you'd like to prepare that include a list of the ingredients. Keep the cards in your purse so they're handy when you get to the store. When you shop, stay focused—and save money on impulse buys—by only purchasing what's on the cards.
