Congrats to Katie B on the birth of her son last night. She looked radiant and they are both doing well! We all wish them a lifetime of happiness.
If you follow my diet diary section, it may seem like I spend way too much time making my food each day, but I don’t.
If I’m making dinner for my family, I’ll also cook some orange roughly or shrimp, or bake some turkey breast (both hold up nicely for a few days), and these can be thrown together for a meal at another time. I often make my lunch and dinner salads at the same time and wrap one up for later.
Vegetables are easy to pre-cook for the same reason. Last night I made green beans. I microwave fresh beans with spices for 2 minutes, 30 seconds. I pulled out the beans for my meals to cool, and then continued to cook them a bit longer for my family. They are used to crunch, al dente vegetables, but not quite as crunchy as I cook them for my meals. When they get ‘mushy’ vegetables at school, they think they are really gross! I then bag up my extra beans to be used further down the line in the week for me.
In the morning when I’m making my breakfast, I can put my lunch and snack together at the same time. This planning also allows me to send healthy veggies in the kids packed lunches, and a bag of tasty green beans for morning snack.
This plan saves lots of $ on high calorie fast food or rude school lunches and we all have energy for our day.
