Prepare your food for the week: Dinner

Ok, seriously, does anyone not have to face the challenge of feeding selves and children healthy at the end of a long day? On a budget, and with crazy schedules, challenging is an understatement.

Being prepared is KEY!

Grill, bake, broil, etc all of your meat for the week. Throw chicken on salads and leftover steak on sandwiches or in stir fry later on. If you make a bunch at once and cook it correctly on Sunday, you should be able to skate until Thursday.

Chop up veggies and pre-make salads, so they are quick and easy for everyone to grab. Fruit prewashed and cut up. I am a huge fan of the veggie tray with Ranch and Hummus.

Investing family time into food prep on the weekend ensures a healthy selection when hunger strikes, because it is an easy grab! Dinner doesn't have to be dramatic, just quick and healthy! :)
