Reverse meal planning is meal planning that starts with what you have on hand as opposed to with recipe ideas. Some say it's harder to think of recipes based only on what you already have in the refrigerator, freezer and pantry, but we have tips and techniques that say otherwise. And once you get the hang of it, you reduce waste, save money, and feel like a badass.

Have you ever wondered what's the best thing to feed your dog? We’ve got answers! Here's everything we've learned about the best food for dogs and how we feed ours. We’re delighted to present today’s episode without ad breaks in partnership with our friends at The Farmer’s Dog.

Get 50% off your first box at thefarmersdog.com/DIJFY.

The Farmer's Dog was founded by two dog lovers who decided to reimagine pet food from the ground up. In the same way that we at DIJFY believe that parents should have access to the info they need to make the best decision for their families, The Farmer's Dog wants to empower all dog owners to make the best feeding decisions for their pets.

Here are a just few of the reasons why we love The Farmer's Dog and think that you will too:

• Real Food: The Farmer’s Dog is real, fresh, healthy food! Every meal is made with a variety of whole meat and veggies that are gently cooked in human-grade kitchens to preserve their nutritional value. 
• Personalized: Just tell The Farmer's Dog about your dog and they’ll deliver personalized, vet-developed recipes for as little as two dollars a day. (Seriously!)
• Pre-portioned: Meals arrive in pre-portioned, ready-to-serve packs, conveniently delivered on your schedule. This makes feeding time so easy that the kids can even help (you know how much we love that). It also makes it easy to maintain a healthy weight, which is a major health indicator for dogs.
• Convenient: Did we mention that personalized, vet-developed recipes show up at your doorstep on a schedule that you determine?! You honestly cannot beat the convenience, which is a major lifesaver for us busy parents.
• TASTE! We say it all the time for the humans in our families and the same goes for our dogs: at the end of the day, food needs to taste good! Ziggy, Miles and Daisy all concur that The Farmer's Dog is gobble worthy. There's never less than a licked clean bowl in either of our homes.

It’s honestly never been easier to invest in your dog’s health with fresh food. And because we're so excited for you to see that for yourself, The Farmer's Dog is giving all Didn't I Just Feed You listeners 50% off your first box, plus free shipping at thefarmersdog.com/DIJFY.

Learn more about The Farmer's Dog today, and check them out at @thefarmersdog on Instagram.

You’ve heard us grapple with how diet culture has impacted us and shaped how we feed our families, but is talk of diet culture, body positivity, and intuitive eating a distraction from understanding the structures and systems of oppression (or worse: a tool that reinforces those structures and systems)?

It’s been three years since we last talked about air fryers and a lot has changed. Stacie got an air fryer, for one, and Meghan has fallen off using hers regularly.

One of the questions we get asked most is whether busy home cooks need an air fryer? We're revisiting episode 96, where we talk with air fryer aficionado Jess Dang about whether the air fryer is for certain cooks only, or all of them, and how anyone can optimize their air fryer for easier meals all day long. Plus, we followed up with Jess three years later to see if her thoughts on her air fryer have changed.

A classic American dish, chili is not just one thing: there are as many variations as they are places where chili is eaten.

In that case, we’ve got help!
