Yuuuuummmmmy!

I used to make menus - and then I had a terrible time juggling work & home. I can hardly wait to get back into it, though. That, and making meals ahead!

When I worked outside the home it was also challenging to juggle it all. Even though I do not work outside the home anymore trying to make all things fall together can be a challenge for me too!

Planning meals ahead and using your crockpot as much as you can is a great tool! Assemble your meal the night before in the crockpot then put the crockpot into the fridge. In the morning insert the pot into the cooker and you come home to a nice meal cooked.

Another good thing is having a freezer pantry. Have you heard of that before? It is where you have your onion, garlic, carrots and meats and such already all cooked up. Then you wrap them up into meal portion sizes and freeze them (like seperated into baggies). When you need cooked onions or garlic in a recipe you pull out one packet (baggie) and add it to your food. I find having a freezer pantry to be a huge time saver! Give it a try if you do let me know what you think!

I am glad you liked my menu! So much of what I make is not very time consuming even though it is made from scratch. I need fast and healthy meals. I know you do too! You will get it figured out! I am routing for you!

Have a great day!
Hugs,
Brenda

Thoroughly enjoyed your blog. I am wanting to try a whole food for our famlily for a few months. Where shoud I begin . We don't eat alot of processed food I cook mostly from scratch and can jams fruits and veggies. We have 9 children 7 still @ home. Most of our kids have never been on anitbiotics. I would greatly appreciate a quick note of any books or reference materials you have found. I don't have much time on the computer because we only have my dh's laptop and it is with him all day @ work. Thanks & have a blessed day.

Hi There,

I am blessed you enjoyed my blog. That is great you want to start a whole foods diet for your family. It sounds like you have already stepped into that realm. That is also wonderful that your chlidren have NEVER been on antibiotics! That is absolutely wonderful!

I guess maybe it would help if you shared some of what you do with your famliy already. What types of foods do you make now? I am unsure of where you are at with stuff in regards to the foods you are already feeding to your crew.

What type of books are you looking for? Cookbooks? Health info? Sorry I am just trying to help you the best I can with exactly what you are looking for. Give me some more details if you don't mind and I will respond asap. If you are already making foods from scratch are you using things like dried beans? Brown rice? I look forward to corresponding more. I will leave this on your blog too.

Reply whenever you have the computer!
Blessings
Brenda
