Who said preparing healthy and hearty whole foods had to be hard and time consuming? Generally speaking, there is a notion that whole foods are hard to prepare and not particularly satisfying. I am writing this today because I object to both of these notions. It is true that we live in a grab and go society, it is true that temptation is at an all-time high, it is true that there are not enough hours in the day, but is also true that dedication and commitment you have to your health goals exudes all these modern day excuses!
I am about to give you 6 whole food recipes that you can make in 5 minutes or less. It takes more than 5 minutes to run through a fast food line! So now you have the tools to keep your body and mind healthy while still having time to take care of all your responsibilities of being a mom. Enjoy!
