Good, better, best:
Dinner for busy moms
Better
The clock is ticking. There are places to be, homework to do. Can a dinner disaster be avoided? Yes, thanks to your back-up plan.
You know it’s only a matter of time before you face a dinner dilemma. Stocking your pantry with quick options for moments like this can really pay off. Packaged convenience foods can definitely save time, but not all of them are created equal. When selecting speedy dinner options, choose organic products that are free of food dyes, trans fats and high-fructose corn syrup. By adding organic chicken nuggets to a giant salad or a handful of spinach to a box of organic macaroni and cheese you can have a guilt-free dinner on the table before you hear the banging of forks and knives from restless diners (also known as your family).
Kelly Hancock, blogging mom of two, reminds us that “just about anything we make at home is going to be healthier than eating out.” Her staples: Whole-grain pasta, a bag of spinach and frozen organic chicken breasts. “With these items on hand, I can always come up with something better than pizza delivery.”
