LEAN INTO IT

The survival guide for ADHD brains trying to cook, cope, and not burn the damn house down.

Half rage, half recipes. All real.

This isn’t a curated lifestyle blog with matching Tupperware and printable meal plans. This is about duct tape systems, 11pm meal prep, and knowing when to pivot to grilled cheese. You’re not doing it wrong. You’re doing it real.

Why the Fuck Am I Even Writing This Blog

This isn’t a food blog written from a sunlit kitchen with frosted containers and macro-balanced quinoa bowls. This is a survival guide—for the ADHD-riddled, executive-function-challenged, panic-at-5:43pm kind of dinner. It’s for the nights you forget to defrost the meat. For the times your brain spirals and you end up elbow-deep in YouTube documentaries instead of making food. It's not about being a perfect cook. It’s about adapting, pivoting, and getting dinner on the table anyway. You’ll meet Brain-Wife: the internal heckler that sounds suspiciously like your real-life partner but meaner and way less helpful. You’ll learn how to shut her up and still hit it before bed. You’ll learn to make pancakes when dinner explodes. You’ll freeze meat flat, make plans like a heist, and screw up gloriously. Because this isn’t about aesthetics. It’s about eating. And surviving. With flavor.
