Lately our schedules have been pretty jammed packed. I strongly dislike using the word “busy” to describe life because to me it sounds whiny. I mean we all have things to do that keeps us going, and sometimes we are simply more booked than usual.
Hi I’m Kristina LaRue, registered dietitian and millennial mom of two active and hungry boys. Here on Love & Zest, you’ll find (mostly) healthy recipes to fuel the whole family and real life stories of modern motherhood. I’m all about veggie-filled breakfast meal prep recipes, healthier sweets, and easy weeknight dinners made in the Instant Pot or sheet pan.
Did you make one of my recipes?? Leave a review in the comments and tag @loveandzest #loveandzest on Instagram!
If you’re a modern mama– I’d love for you to join my Facebook group A Modern Motherhood Collective!
@Catherine ahh, that is a luxury! good for you! @carolina thanks! prepping produce is a time saver and it allows for the grab and go moments too.
What a cute blog, I love it! Glad I found another Orlando blogger, always great to see 🙂 Though I don’t really plan my meals (I’m an impulse eater) I do prep all my produce on Sundays after I get it. Makes cooking SO much easier!
I used to work very long hours (and had a long commute) during the week, and did most of my prep on the weekends, too, when I was cooking for two people. Like you, I found this a lifesaver!
Lately, it’s just been me, and I get off work at 3:00 now, so there’s plenty of time to make dinner. 🙂 While I’m glad I have the skills I developed for pre-planning and pre-prepping, I love relaxing in my kitchen when I get home from work now! (The luxury!)
I bet! Eric made the comment the other day, how are we going to do it with kids?! It’s hard enough to keep up each other.
Life during the week goes SO much better when I prep on the weekends… sadly, sometimes I can’t squeeze out the time for that either. Life with kids is a whole different ballgame!
