Foodies

Who doesn’t love food?  I enjoy the process of growing a garden, canning the produce, shopping for ingredients, planning menus, cooking food, tasting new recipes, talking about it…you get the point, I am a “foodie”.

Enjoyment of this process enables me to keep my family well with balanced meals and healthful, tasty, home cooking.  (My kids are normal kids… they would often choose McD’s over dinner at home).  Obviously not everyone is a foodie, enjoying the process, but easy steps to food prep may help you avoid the expensive drive through dinner and high fat that goes with processed meals.

The next trip to the grocery store, buy additional lean protein (enough for 2-3 additional meals) and cook it at the same time as the meal you are prepping, package and freeze into appropriate portions.  I find if my protein is ready to go, adding a salad or steamed veggie makes meals a snap.
