Moms on a Mission: Quick, Convenient & Healthy Meals for your Family!

When you are strapped for time use all available conveniences to help you make healthy meals for you family. Frozen vegetables and pre-cut vegetables (preferably organic) are a quick alternative if cutting & chopping just isn’t feasible. That's a relief living in Knoxville where fresh fruits and vegetables are hard to find in the middle of winter!

Never make one of anything. If you are making a meal, make enough to give you at least one extra meal.

Eating three meals a day plus snacks can sound daunting when you don’t even have time to shower. How will you find time for healthy choices? Think convenience & rethink meals. Plan ahead, be prepared, ask for help, and use your freezer a lot!

Plan ahead whenever possible, always make extra, and don’t forget your freezer is your friend. Also, don’t be shy. Ask for help – preparing a meal or snack is something family and friends can do for you.
Fitness Tip: Set aside time on the weekend for a family nature walk/hike and turn it into a scavenger hunt (how many different birds can you hear/find, different color plants etc.). You don’t have to be in a wilderness area, a local park can offer plenty of opportunities to seek out interesting flora and fauna (ducks, bugs, flowers…)
