happy monday all, hope you had a great weekend! lately i’ve been thinking a lot about healthy food, and how to make it easier for people to incorporate it into their already busy and full lives. i think “healthy” food almost always requires just a little more time since it’s not pre-made, pre-packaged, etc
i imagine that after working 8-10 hours in an office the last thing anyone really wants to do is come home and prepare a meal. i’m fortunate enough to make my own hours and work from home, and i still struggle with this. so i’m trying to think of ways to make life just a little bit easier. one of my ideas for this is prepping large batches of food to be used in multiple meals throughout the week. for instance, on sunday i made a huge batch of roasted sweet potatoes (cooked while we were roasting brussel sprouts for our sunday night dinner). and this morning i turned some of them into a breakfast hash, tomorrow i’ll make these with them and by wednesday just when i think i can’t eat another sweet potato, i’ll throw them into my lunch salad giving them a whole new life.
do you have any tips or tricks for squeezing cooking/healthy eating into a busy life? do you find yourself coming home from work exhausted and just reaching for the quickest, easiest meal? let’s chat about this and share our solutions in the comments! xx- sarah {recipe after the jump}
