I am perusing fitness and health books. Iʻve decided I really need to change my (our) diet. Iʻve got *way* too much information in front of me now and Iʻm trying to figure out what to do. I wish I had more time to cook, but leaving at 7am and coming home (with three kids) at 7pm doesnʻt give me much time. I should do crockpot meals in the morning, but I never seem to find the time. I do get up at 5:15 or so to work out before I leave.
So if anyone has tried and true recipes (easy, please! Iʻm a little challenged and I never follow the recipe, but I usually approximate it!) and sites theyʻd like to direct me to, great! Iʻm particularly interested in vegetarian type meals with legumes and such as a main ingredient.
So thatʻs me, now.  Oh, and I still need that maid... |
I worked full time (a lot of it in construction!) raised my kids and a few other people;s, and was a Girl Scout Leader, Service Unit Coordinator and Trainer and the family got home made meals damn near every night of the week! I highly recommend going to Womansday.com and check out their monthly menus. what kept me sane and my family fed was making out a weekly menu, shopping for the week, and then writing myself a schedule every night, ie; hardboil eggs for tomorrow, take meat out of freezer... and so on. there were lots of things I could start the night before and even many dishes that I could organize to a point and then have the kids do a few bits as well. sure there were things we didn't like and would not cook, but it gave me an idea of where to start, which, as I am sure as a Mom you know... there are times when the brain simply will not engage!
