It's a source of contention for all of us, whether you're a stay at home mommy, work from home mommy, work out of the home mommy or combination thereof. Dinner time is a source of stress for us all.Since school began a few weeks ago, I have been trying very hard to get the family on a strict meal schedule. It's been a mandate of mine to have us eat as a family as much as possible. In the world where we live this is easier said than done. My husband has a wacky schedule which more often than not does not put him at home when the dinner bell tolls. I still try my best to have the boys and I sit together to eat, TV off, distraction free. Being a stay at home mom I have the extra time available to me to shop & meal plan, I type this with a smile on my face in that being said, its rarely the case, I am usually with the rest of you... doing the dinner dance at 4:30, frantically searching through the fridge & cupboards thinking "what on earth am I going to make for dinner tonight?"
A friend of mine turned me onto Kraft 5 Dinners, 1 Bag. With the help of these handy lists and 1 grocery bag full of items, you are able to quickly & easily prepare 5 nights of healthy meals for your family and relatively quick! The meals are all basic yet tasty and I have found some new favorites for our house. You can choose from the Healthy Living Bag, Chicken & Seafood Bag, Chicken & Pork Bag, or Chicken & Beef Bag to mix & match some great new selections. The recipes can easily be switched up to use organic ingredients or lower fat options.
Take a moment to check it out, instead of next time doing the dinner dance, I hope that you are doing a happy dance.
In good health,
Susan
