Ok, I really need some ideas. I am really wanting to start eating healthier, I am a very busy mom, wife and have a full-time job. you would think with all the craziness I have in my life i would have to worry about my weight, but that’s not the case! I want to start eating healthier and dieting, but I don’t want to have to put my kids and husband on a diet, and I don’t want to cook 2 meals every night. I need some ideas of some healthy husband and kid friendly meals. I also just started the Couch to 5K workout plan, and if i’m going to do it, I want to do it all right! Thanks so much!!
On the weekend, roast a chicken or a large roast. If you slice it up beforehand, this will give you enough meat to carry you through a few days. With this, you can just add BBQ sauce and make quick and delicious sandwiches. Add cheese to your family’s and make your sandwich open-faced. Same meal, lighter for you. Add a quick toss salad (they make bags of pre-made mixes – easy!) and you have a 10-minute meal.
Also, you can buy rotisserie chicken, and not even spend the time roasting your own! Its healthy, lean meat – you just have to slice and serve! Steam some veggies your family will eat, and serve with hollandaise (made from the packet, to save time!) or ranch. Kids love it! Just go light on the sauce for yourself. Boil some instant rice pilaf and you’re all set!
Good luck! Its all about preparing a LOT of stuff beforehand when you have time, and mixing and matching what you’ve got.
