Oh man do I love food (and healthy salads), but with work and kids I don’t have much time for cooking. That is why I write about healthy and EASY ways to get food on the table. At home, I do this in a few ways:

  1. I make a month of freezer meals in one day! For real! I cook once a month, and I am done. During the week I can just throw my freezer meals in the crockpot or microwave and I am done! I wrote a book on how to efficiently shop and cook once a month, and let me tell you the recipes are delicious!
  2. I love to buy HEALTHY packaged on-the-go foods, and I am kind of obsessed with finding healthy packaged snack ideas in a sea of processed-empty-calorie snacks. In fact, it is part of my job as owner of a healthy mindful vending company called Mindful Vending. Mindful Vending is a dietitian (that’s me : ) ) owned and operated vending company!
  3. Along with making freezer meals and healthy on-the-go products, I also like to make absolutley no-cooking-involved meals. A salad is one of those no-cook meals I love to make a salad. I love that you can have such variety with salads. No one salad has to be just alike. Use this ultimate list of salad toppings to make a completely new salad every night!
