Healthy Food For The Whole Family

Healthy Food for the Whole Family

Hey friends! Some of the most frequent questions I get asked are often centered around food; what I eat, where I find recipes, etc. Today I’ll be sharing with you how I meal prep healthy foods for the whole family, the food storage containers I use and love, favorite snacks I always have on hand, and why preparing food and eating clean is so important to me. 

Why I meal prep

My #1 tip is to always, always prepare your food beforehand. Yes, its super annoying every single time but if I don’t, I eat like crap and then I feel like crap. Meal prepping makes such a difference in my overall health, its honestly life-changing. I choose to eat healthy and prepare my food in advance otherwise I’m eating processed and packaged food that makes me feel crummy. I honestly keep it pretty simple: Breakfast- 4oz grain, 6oz fruit, and 4oz protein then for Lunch/Dinner– 6oz veggies, 4oz protein, and a whole fruit. 

What matters most, is that you find something that works for you and then stick to it; consistency is key. 

How I meal prep

Every Sunday I dedicate a few hours of my day to preparing food for the upcoming week. These are the foods I almost always prepare:

Vegetables– Costco is the best place to purchase vegetables in bulk that last the entire week. I typically buy a large bag of broccoli and brussels sprouts, place them on a baking sheet, sprinkle this salt on them and then bake both in the oven at 420 F for 20 minutes. While the vegetables are cooking I like to peel and cut carrots so that when anyone in the family needs a quick snack they have something handy in the fridge. 

During the week I honestly keep things pretty simple and so I like to sauté the cooked vegetables, add a protein, and I’ll either drizzle a Primal sauce/dressing on top or sauté the meat and vegetables using one of my very favorite seasonings from Redmond.

Ground Beef– My favorite beef is purchased from Butcher Box. I especially love this because its 100% grass-fed beef that is such high quality delivered right to my doorstep. They make it so easy to select the types of meats I want/need in a given month and it tastes AMAZING. Once my ground beef is cooked, I store it in this glass container.

Salads- Preparing salads for lunches are a great way to take healthy food with you while on-the-go. I purchased this amazing salad size container from Amazon last month and have been loving it (in fact, I’m ordering some more). I love how much it holds but also the glass helps my salad stay fresh longer; its the best! My very favorite salad dressings are made by Primal because they substitute soy for coconut aminos and you can get some here. 

Chicken & Eggs- I absolutely love my Instant Pot. I use this each week to cook hard-boiled eggs for part of my protein at breakfast (see how to cook the perfect hard-boiled egg in your Instant Pot HERE) and to cook chicken so I always have some on hand and ready to go for meals (read about the best Instant Pot chicken HERE). 

Snacks I always have on hand

I always have a few snacks on hand and these are my go-to’s:

  • ZBar, shop HERE
  • Apple Sauce Pouches, purchased at Costco
  • Chomps Beef Sticks, shop HERE
  • Clean Simple Eats Nut Butter- pair this with an apple and its SO dang good. I love the midnight coconut almond which you can get HERE
  • Re-Lyte Electrolyte Mix- mix this with water (in this bottle) and gives your body the minerals you need. You can get some HERE.
  • Redmond Real Salt- you’re probably laughing, but I seriously take this personal one with me everywhere I go. Nothing else compares! 
  • 100% grass-fed polish sausage, I purchase this at Costco.

My favorite food storage containers

ZipTop Containers- these silicone containers are so amazing. They store easily; I love that I don’t have to find a lid and come in all sizes to fit different needs. I actually use these to place snacks and my kid’s lunches in for school. They are microwave-safe, freezer-safe, dishwasher-safe, and such high quality! Make sure to scroll down for a discount code to use at checkout.

I also really love these Ello glass containers. I love the variety of sizes they offer, they seal tight, and hold all of the healthy food for the whole family that I prepare on Sunday.  Make sure to also check out the large salad container which you can get here.

You’re not alone. 🤍

Somewhere along our way, we picked up the belief t Somewhere along our way, we picked up the belief that questions weren’t okay. Maybe it’s because we had an experience that made us feel dumb - we asked a question and we got made fun of. We then picked up the belief that we’re already supposed to know it all, and that when we question, it means we are inadequate. That questioning is unsafe.

Kids ask questions constantly, so they learn constantly. They haven’t yet taken on the belief that they need to know more than they do right now. Because how could they possibly? It makes sense. They’re curious and ask all of the questions in all of the ways.

Let’s do that.

Let’s ask the questions. In every way. From all the angles. And then focus on where we are turning for the answers because WHERE we are turning matters. I think God will guide us if we ask Him. He knows how to speak to us in ways that we will hear, but only if we turn to Him.

He’s got us.

Questions are EVERYTHING and I want to live to my last day with a million questions that I expect answers to in His way. He’ll show up for me. And I’ll know He’ll show up for you, too. 🤍 #parcellsundayselfie 6/4/23 #sundaybest #christianposts
Truly and genuinely @orbitbaby has saved me as a m Truly and genuinely @orbitbaby has saved me as a mom to twins and now mom to 3! Why I love it:

🤍 The car seat and stroller seat rotates so it makes it a great place for baby on walks and other places like restaurants because I can face him where I need to! He can be facing towards me as I’m seated or avoid sun in his face on walks!

🤍 I love that the car seat pops directly into the stroller base. If he’s sleeping I don’t have to wake him up and it makes going ANYWHERE so much easier and gives me so much less anxiety when I take my crew out and about 😅🤍

Let me know if you have questions! #orbitbaby #sponsored #newbaby #momhacks #momlife #stroller #travelsystem

Tyler asked Harris while preparing for his primary Tyler asked Harris while preparing for his primary talk to speak in church what his favorite part of church was, and he answered honestly:

“The treat at the end.”

I laughed and laughed, and I also realized that this truth spoken from his mouth was spot on.

I pray, and I write and I listen and I study because in those moments is when I can hear Him.

I see Him in truth everywhere. He is in all things. His lessons are gently whispering in the textures, the smells, and the relationships I give my energy to.

I put forth effort by my small acts of showing up and telling Him I’m listening and His spirit is the “treat at the end.” And during. And before - even when I sometimes don’t notice it quite yet.

🤍🤍🤍 Happy Sabbath my beautiful friends!!! His knows you by name. He sees you and hears you and ADORES what He created - you. 🤍 #parcellsundayselfie 5/21/23 #sundaybest
