Even with my family’s crazy schedule, I still make it a priority to make home cooked meals whenever possible…at least on school days Not only is it less expensive but it’s healthier, too!
I love “Meatless Mondays.” Even if it’s just once a week (I would like to do more!) cutting meat out of your diet can make a huge difference. There are so many yummy and satisfying plant-based proteins available. So, why wouldn’t you?! Quinoa, lentils, beans, spirulina … just to name a few! It can be hard at first, especially if you are a meat-lover, but start by gradually adding in more veggies and healthy grains into your diet when you can. When you feel comfortable, try replacing at least one full meal a day with a plant based option!
I’ll be honest, my family is OB-sessed with pasta dishes. I can’t indulge as often as I like with pasta but when I do, I try to make it as healthy as possible!
