Ava Thompson

Minimalist Parenting & Family Meals

Ava has three kids under ten and started paring down after a fourth move in five years — each one a forced audit of how much four people accumulate. A stint as a line cook left her with a rotation of about fifteen one-pot meals, which is mostly what keeps weeknights from falling apart. She writes about minimalist parenting and simple cooking for people who don't have a spare hour to plate anything. She's not a dietitian or a child-development expert — this is one busy household's experience.
