Benjamin Floxtriswa is Sugar Press's Meal Planning and Weeknight Strategy Editor. Before joining Sugar Press, he spent years watching the same pattern play out: good intentions on Sunday, takeout by Wednesday. That gap between planning and actually cooking became the problem he wanted to solve.

Benjamin's approach is systems-first. Rather than treating meal planning as a single Sunday task, he breaks it into small, repeatable habits: a rotating list of go-to dinners, a grocery list that mirrors how a kitchen actually gets used, and batch-cooked components that can be reassembled into different meals through the week.

At Sugar Press, Benjamin anchors the Meal Planning category, covering batch cooking, weekly menus, and grocery strategy built around real budgets and real schedules, not aspirational ones. He leans on Katie's technique breakdowns and Wayan's gear picks to make sure his meal plans are actually achievable with the tools and skills most home cooks already have.

Outside of writing, Benjamin is the person in any group chat sending unsolicited grocery store deals and freezer-organization tips. He measures a good week not by how ambitious the menu was, but by how few decisions he had to make once Monday actually arrived.
