I am a working mom, so YES! I know how busy you are. Whether you are busy cuz you have kids or because you work A LOT, or cuz your hubby just takes way too much of your time!
But where there is a WILL, there is a WAY girlfriend!
Yesterday, as I cooked my 7 month olds son food for a week, which took me 2.5 hours, I prepped some food for myself.
I mean, I was already chopping vegetables, I already had the oven on, so what the hek! I chopped 1 eggplant, 2 zucchini’s, 1 red onion, 1 bunch of asparagus, and already sliced Portobello mushrooms. This took me 5 minutes! I put them on a baking sheet, sprinkled them with grill seasoning and in the oven for 25 minutes while I finished cooking Nicholas’ food (my son).
Then I realized, hey the oven is on, I might as well bake some chicken! Sprinkled them with grill seasoning and in the oven for 17 minutes
Today, I got home from work FAMISHED as usual! Yes I am a foodie and I LOVE TO EAT! Had I not had some food prepped I would have probably grabbed the chocolate chip cookies my WONDERFUL HUBBY bought yesterday! But instead………………….. I put the roasted veggies I had already cooked in a pan, put 4 egg whites and made me a Yummy egg white and veggie scramble which I topped with sliced avocado, in only 3 minutes! YUMMMOOO!!!
You too can make BETTER options if you are prepared!
Lesson of the day: PREP PREP PREP and Bulk cook!! and you will be A LEAN MEAN MACHINE!
