What makes my week run smoothly?
Being prepared!
A few things I do to prepare for our meals and keep us eating healthy are:
Scrub and cut veggies /fruit within a day of buying if not as soon as we get home.
I am a huge veggie and fruit pusher. By cleaning and cutting our produce in advance I can easily add them to every meal.
Whole apples and bananas get left on the counter in a bowl for easy access. The other veggies are cut and put in the front of the refrigerator so they are easily seen and eaten.
This will be gone before the end of the week.

When you are cooking hamburger or sausage, cook several pounds at once then put the extra in the freezer. The frozen meat can quickly become taco's, spaghetti, sloppy joes, chili, burritos, pizza toppings...
If you bake bread, rolls or muffins for your family, bake a double batch and freeze the extra.
By cooking and baking extra, you will be saving time, in the end, as well as creating 'fast food' for your family.

I also keep my pantry stocked with items such as tomato sauce, canned beans, burritos, chilies, sauerkraut, pasta, and rice. Always having these items leaves no excuse for ordering out which means my family eats healthier and we save money. Yippee on both accounts!
For those of you that asked for recipes, I will try to get them posted this week. I will also be answering your 'ask me anything' questions soon, so if you have anything your dying to ask you still have time :)

Brilliant!! I love having easy access to healthy foods, too. The original "fast food"!!
Your veggies look great! I need to start doing this again. My family loves it when they can just grab a snack without going through all the prep work.
