Lunch Time:
It's crazy enough trying to get the kids out the door each morning with their books, homework, and freshly-made lunches... what about YOUR nutrition the day?! As parents, it's easy to put everyone and everything in your life, before yourself. Trying to take care of others is typically what you strive to do first.... then worry about yourself, later. It can be tricky to send your kids off with a healthy and 'made with love' lunch everyday; but you do it... you try your best to give them a balanced lunch. It can be so much easier! Take one day (say, Sunday) and gather all of the things you need for lunches for the week. Get the kids' things together and ready to pack each evening, as well as your own lunch! Meal prep is so popular right now and we're sure this life-saving concept isn't t going anywhere! Jump on board and see what the craze is all about!!! Cook once and divide the meal into 5 containers for each day... you can grab one and throw it in your bag on the way out the door in the morning! Heat it up at lunch time, and "voilà!"... you've got lunch!

Dinner Time:
Make a month's worth of meals in one day! 'Freezer Meals' has been trending for quite some time, now... and for good reason! They really are the perfect solution for busy moms (or dads) who want to get a healthy, hot meal on the table for their family at the end of a long day. With the kids' busy school and practice schedules, and your hectic work and meeting schedules, taking precedence over the majority of time in a day, that task can be tricky! The last thing you want to do at the end of a long work day is come home and slave over a hot and healthy meal for the family. Make a week or month's-worth of meals at one time, and you'll be able to come home and do what matters most: spend time with your family! Let dinner cook itself in the oven or Crockpot, while you watch TV with the kids or talk about your day with the hubby! You'll be able to feel good about the food you eat and feel less weight on your shoulders when you prep the meals, ahead of time!
