About Us
Adulting is hard.
Between sports practices, work deadlines, school pickups, and the general beautiful chaos of family life, getting a real meal on the table can feel like one more thing to figure out. That's where we come in.
Crumbs & Curveballs was built for the busy weeks when you still want to feed your family something real. We're a baseball family, which means we know a thing or two about long tournament weekends, packed dugout coolers, and meals that have to practically make themselves.
My best friends have referred to me as "the adultiest adult they know." What a compliment! But the truth is, I can only handle so much adulting at a time. Since food is my love language, I enjoy reading recipes, thinking about what we are going to eat, and cooking delicious food. Despite our busy schedules, weekly planning allows me to still enjoy cooking while also not overloading myself.
We started Crumbs & Curveballs because we wanted to share our love of food with others who are juggling just as much as we are. And with anyone who loves food, but not the planning or shopping!
Weekly Meal Plan Bundles
Our bundles aren't just a list of recipes — they're a full system for getting meals done without the daily "what are we eating?" spiral.
Each bundle includes:
- 📋 A weekly meal plan — a clear, mapped-out week of meals so the decision is already made
- 🗂️ A prep plan — telling you exactly what to do ahead of time so cooking is fast and stress-free
- 🍽️ Recipes with tips — real recipes with the kind of notes you'd get from a friend who's made it a dozen times
- 🛒 A grocery list — organized and ready to go, so your shopping trip is in and out or ordering online is a cinch
And every single meal is built around what actually works for real families:
- Common ingredients you already recognize and can find anywhere
- Low ingredient counts — no recipe that requires seventeen things you'll use once
- Minimal dishes — because nobody wants to clean up a science experiment at 9 pm
- Short, realistic prep times — we chop vegetables at a non-professional pace
- Balanced proteins across the week — variety without having to think about it (and even some vegetarian options)
