In this episode of Life of And, Tiffany Sauder shares how she’s setting her family up for a healthier, more intentional summer — and it all starts in the kitchen.

Tiffany pulls back the curtain on what it actually looks like to feed a busy household of four girls. From prepping protein and produce in advance to setting simple snack agreements, she walks through the real-life food systems that keep her family fed without turning meals into a daily battle.

You’ll also hear what Tiffany’s prioritizing this summer — like playing pickleball, unplugging for her anniversary trip, and creating rhythms that help her whole family stay aligned (and sane).

Whether you’re tired of the endless “What’s for lunch?” questions or just want your days at home to flow smoother, this episode offers smart, sustainable ways to eat well, live intentionally, and actually enjoy summer.
