Another toddlers cooking class! Does this even count as work?

✨What!? A post!? Man it’s been a bit. Things have been going on (aka school and a broken leg) BUT today I’m off to facilitate a Tiny Tots cooking program at the local library 🥰 literacy and food, was there ever a better combination?

✨Different sandwiches on whole wheat, meats and cheese, bagels with cheese, fresh fruit, dried fruit, veggies, and mixed nuts (this is something they can have at school currently). Granola bars, a treat or two. I try to mix things up as much as is practical.
🌿We are a family of 6 (four kids all above the age of 9) and groceries are one of our larger expenses each pay-check so having an incredible array of different fresh fruits and veggies or other lunch goodies is not very plausible.
Sometimes the mixing up is in the way it’s served! Bagel bits instead of whole, rolled up sandwich meat and cheese cubes rather than sliced for cracker consumption etc. Finding some staples that are always enjoyed is nice and adding variety here and there with other things.
Buying the discount tagged items at the grocery store can actually help with creating variety without too much thought as generally there are different things each time! And I might be a broken record BUT throw away myths like “organic is healthier”, “packaged food is all bad for you” etc. Buy what you can afford and learn tricks to bumping up the “healthiness” of the food, remembering that eating is always healthier than not eating.
Building walls of stress and anxiety around food is also not healthy.

*Sorry I’ve been gone so long, some other things took priority for a bit but this is still important to me so here I am (I haven’t reeeaaaalllllyyyy left) with some changes in myself that will trickle down into R. Anne. R Holistics (nothing drastic 😉) more to come on that I’m sure, but for now, BACK TO LUNCHES!

…..seriously, it’s almost 6am and the time I get going on lunch’s 🙌🏻🥪

💥 I’ve been gone, but I’m still here. Living, being, learning, creating, following fate and following passions.
🌿Garden is doing the best it has in years, it’s refreshing to give my attention to life rather than social media 🥰

🌻I’m still here, working behind the walls of the internet, within the community and being present there. I wasn’t made to be a “content creator”. I was meant to be a nutritionist, a gardener, an advocate for low income families, a creator, a mother… a hobby collector 😉
So I’ve been gone, but I am here.

Camomile, sage, mint and the tiniest pick of strawberries 🍓 🤗

✨First pick of the season 😍 and stole some chive blossoms for the table 🥰

I love my fall/winter time, but garden season also makes my soul happy 😭

05/20/2023

It’s the big projects today. Planting all our starts, flowers in their pots, and I am taking up my path to mulch it, and make it even better! 🥰

✨One super simple way I help myself stay organized when making lunches in the morning!

📝Either the night before or the morning of (while I’m having my quiet coffee) I write down what I’d like to make for lunches that day on a sticky note, and then put that sticky note on the counter with me.🥪

🤗 This helps me stay on track and I get much less flustered!!

✨It’s a mess and it’s a lot and I love it.
🤗 This is not meal prepping, this is morning lunch making! 🥪🎒7 lunches 45 mins.

😀I. Love. Doing. This.
💚One of my favourite parts of the day.

I’m strange
