    Hey Emma! First let me just say Welcom Aboard! I try to plan my meals ahead of time. I cook breakfast for the week on Sunday. Quiche or a scramble of some sort becasue I don't have time either. I usually make two meals on that day as well for the week. Or..you can cook on whatever day you have time and freeze the meals in the portion you would like. I do that as well. From a single mom on the go! It works for me..hope it helps you as well! Good luck!

    Hi Emma!

    The time constrant thing is hard for anyone. A few suggestions for you.

    Frozen Meals: Microwave 6 mins, grap some frozen veggies and you are good to go. Portion control at its finest.

    Cook larger meals on weekends and 2x's a week. Cook more and eat off of it for days. I make a lentil soup that lasts me a week or more when I freeze it.

    Learn to be friends with your slow cooker/crock pot. One of my fav recipes is boneless skinless chicken breast (4 or 5 of them), a package of Taco mix. Sprinkle it over the chicken. A cup and 1/2 of water and let it cook on low all day. You will come home to chicken falling apart and ready to eat!

    Good luck in your journey!!
