The hardest part about eating healthy is .... just figuring out what to make for a family of four (something that EVERYONE will enjoy) 🥴 It'd be wayyyy easier if it was just me!
The most helpful thing that I've found is to make a weekly meal plan - I like to get my husband's and kids' input when I write my list to see what ideas they have or what foods they might be craving... because it IS exhausting doing it myself, week after week.
I'll be completely for real with you guys ... my dinner recipes are pretty basic. My kids are kinda picky, and no one except me likes seafood, soooo we keep it pretty plain jane over here 🤷♀️ 'American classics', but make it organic 👌. We do have some frequent favorites... like weekly "taco tuesday" (tacos, fijitas, enchiladas) ... but I do try and switch it up pretty often and make things we haven't had in awhile.
My main concern when it comes to creating my meals is, "what ingredients can I swap to make the dish a little healthier?"
For example:
• prepacked ➡️ homemade
• regular grains ➡️ organic grains
• white/ brown sugar ➡️ honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, organic cane, dates
• highly processed ➡️ minimally processed
🛒 tips:
• no dyes, no artificial flavors, no fillers, no artificial sweetener
• Organic: pasta, rice, oats, bread, fruits, veggies (when possible)
• Look for sale items and plan your meals around that
