What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

In a rut? Seemingly endless ideas for family friendly meals and how to optimize your time meal planning, shopping, prepping, and cooking. I listen while I walk, and am constantly searching and screenshotting her meal suggestions.

SkokieBadger · Sep 2026

Kris makes one of the most mundane daily tasks fresh and inviting. Her meal prep is uncomplicated and the meals she describes are tasty, quick and simple, without unusual ingredients and weird kitchen tools. Grab your kitchen knife and be inspired!

JenDRPh · Jun 2026

I am really enjoying this podcast and find the meal ideas creative but doable as a working mom. I appreciate learning ways to plan and prep. I wish she was still making new episodes as I am going to be bummed when I have listened to them all.

jennybutlermd · Aug 2024

This podcast helped me create an efficient shopping list every week so I cut my time in the store, helped me lose postpartum weight because I cook all meals at home now, and mealprep all my weekday meals! I’ll kiss you Kris. You’ve been the friend in my ear as you inspired me to cook and eat healthy. Can’t wait to join the healthy cooking club.

GoldenKinako · Jun 2024

The content has the potential to be so good, but she talks waaaayyyy too fast. It gives me a headache. Please slow down or use post production. The podcast app only allows half speed which makes you sound alike a robot, so you need to help your potential new listeners out here by slowing down. Maybe that means covering less per episode.
