**Lunches for you and your spouse:
If you're a parent, chances are, you tend to put everyone else first! You make their lunches and make sure they're packed and ready for school without thinking much about your own lunch. Grabbing a pre-packaged salad or a yogurt from the fridge can be boring and bland. Grabbing a burrito from the street cart, outside the office, can be unhealthy (and pricey) to do everyday. Take a little bit of time on Sunday and make meals for the whole week! You'll feel great, seeing exactly what is going into your meals, and having something delicious and ready for you each day is wonderful, too!
