Simple Meal Prep Ideas with Rebecca Huff, founder, ThatOrganicMom.com | Episode 6
Description
It’s back-to-school season, and with that comes new schedules, sports, after-school activities, and a whole lot of busyness. We’re all well-intentioned and want to make sure our kids are eating healthy, but with all we have to do, it’s a challenge. With some simple meal prep ideas, however, you can make sure your kids are off to a good start and get the nutrition they need all year long.
In this episode, I sat down with Rebecca Huff, a mom of 6, creator of ThatOrganicMom.com, and host of A Healthy Bite podcast. Rebecca shares her easy approach to packing healthy lunch boxes your kids will actually eat, simple meal prep ideas to help you get a healthy dinner on the table every night, and how to save a ton of time in the kitchen. She also shares ways to break out of meal ruts, feed kids when you have practices and games during dinner time, and why getting your kids in the kitchen can make life easier.
