The daily demand for a working mom can be a lot to manage. You need to perform as expected at work, and at home, you need to be present for your family. In addition to being present, you likely have many tasks necessary for your family to thrive. One of those tasks may be to provide healthy food for my family each night.
Each night I have about 30 minutes to pull dinner together, and if I don’t have a plan, I usually don’t deliver a healthy option. I am not proud to admit it, but I have reached for a quick fix for dinner numerous times, whether a box of mac-n-cheese or a trip to McDonald’s. What do you gravitate towards for dinner if you find yourself short on time? Dinner has always been a challenge for me. How about you?
I found the best way to keep my family’s nutrition on track is to have a plan for the week. Healthy meal planning does not come naturally to me. I grew up on casseroles, and my taste buds gravitate to meat and a big plate of pasta. What do you crave to eat? I knew I needed a plan to make healthier choices and simplify my daily routine. Therefore I developed a quick guide to meal planning titled Meal Planning as simple as 1,2,3. It offers a program you can follow to provide a healthy meal for your family each night of the week. The beauty of the plan is that it is simple. It is broken down into vegetables, proteins, and complex carbs and offers a healthy balanced approach. The guide is available through the resources tab, titled Go-To Information at www.starstunning.com, and is available to download for free.
The guide recommends setting aside some dedicated time to prep each week, but I have found that the time spent allows me to stay on track. It helps me be more consistent in the foods we eat at my house. The choices are healthy and will enable me to have dinner ready in 30 minutes. I hope this will help you come one step closer to providing simple healthy meals for your family each night. Visit Go-To Information and download today.
