Need some tips

Okay all you busy moms out there. I need ideas on how to cook and feed my family healthy meals day in and day out. Keep in mind that I do work full time, please.

Share, share, share.
I look forward to reading all of your suggestions.
Thanks!

I use my crockpot when I'm going to be gone all day -- but that means I have to plan my grocery list well! I also keep lots of quick things in the freezer (leftover homemade spaghetti sauce, leftover chili) that I can defrost in a pinch. If you want an easy, healthy chili recipe, e-mail me and I'll send it. :o)

It is tough, isn't it? I am trying to do the same. First of all, I do a lot of shopping at Trader Joes because I try to stay clear of processed foods. I also try and do a couple of meals per week that the leftovers can be morphed into something else like I may to a pork roast via crock pot early in the week and then use the leftovers in a stir fry later on or put the leftovers in the freezer for another meal of the same. We also eat a lot of vegetarian things because they tend to be quicker to make, healthy, and delicious. Overall, I think it just takes planning and good use of a freezer!

Good Luck!
