In this busy day and age it is almost impossible to get everyone to gather around the table.
Busy schedules, jobs, and the hectic pace of today's society have us running around in circles.
The need to make quick healthy meals is becoming a challenge.
Our children are becoming obese because of the approval of "fast food" as an alternative to basic healthy eating.
Meal planning can be fun with a little research, and by making ahead mixes which you only need to add a few wet ingredients to when preparing.
Easy mixes can be made up ahead of time in batches and stored in the cupboard for those busy hectic days.
Quick, easy, and ready to prepare without all the added preservatives, additives or MSG you find in store bought mixes.
It may seem easier to just buy the store's mixes instead of having to do it yourself, but in reality you can make most of the mixes from everyday ingredients you already have in your pantry and save yourself a ton of money.
I remember the days when I would come home from school to bread fresh from the oven and the smell of my mothers home made spaghetti sauce cooking on the stove.
With the use of products like Food saver and Crock-Pot and numerous bread makers on the market "you can have your cake and eat it", to so to speak.
I recommend making multiple batches while making mixes to save time and money, as it is always cheaper to buy in bulk.
We need to take control of ours and our children's health.
Diabetes is reaching an epidemic level in our society, especially in our children.
Now is the time to act, and start eating right for ourselves and our families.
We can do this by planning ahead and avoiding added chemicals and fillers in products by getting back to basics and getting involved in how and what we eat.
