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.

#ad You think you’re getting a good night’s sl #ad You think you’re getting a good night’s sleep, but you continue to wake up feeling unrested and aren’t sure why.

Your spouse notices you are snoring and they can’t get their own good night’s sleep by sleeping in the same room.

Neither option is any fun for anyone involved!

Snoring can be a symptom. Sleep apnea is where your throat closes off while you are sleeping, which does not allow for proper oxygen flow to your brain, thus leaving you tired the next day….and leaving your spouse sleepless as well.

And we all know that a CPAP machine is not the most user-friendly experience out there…

Enter @Soundsleepmedical. They have created an appliance that gives you sound sleep. The device holds your jaw slightly forward when you sleep so your airway is not blocked at all, and you wake up feeling refreshed and your spouse can sleep back in the same room as you.

Quality of life and a happy spouse is a win-win.

Be sure to use the link in my bio to schedule your free sleep screening. You can use code JENICA to receive a free sleep screening, which includes an in-office consultation and at-home sleep test, along with $50 off your oral appliance.

Sweet dreams my friends.
I cannot BELIEVE it was only a short year ago that I cannot BELIEVE it was only a short year ago that I was deciding if I could handle doing another frozen embryo transfer…and now LOOK at him 🥹 It was one of the hardest years of my entire life. Going through things I don’t wish on anyone. But look at us now 😭 And looking internally…the things I’ve learned.

Tell me about something a year ago for you that you didn’t know you’d get through and can’t believe you are where you’re at 🤍👇🏻 #infertilityjourney #ivfsuccess #frozenembryotransfer
This is it. Not just in motherhood, although moth This is it.

Not just in motherhood, although motherhood really amplifies it, but in life.

It’s the fast days that are loud and sunny.

It’s the slow days that are quiet and snowy.

The mismatched pajamas and the dressed to the nines.

It’s the mess.

It’s the organization and order.

It’s the to-do list that gets crossed off and the to-do list that doesn’t.

It’s in the allowing of both.

It’s in perhaps preferring one over the other, but not judging either.

It’s in the wisdom that both will pass and each have lessons to teach.

Neither is wrong.

Both are allowed.

This is it.

It might feel impossible in the middle of it and y It might feel impossible in the middle of it and you might question everything.

“I have no idea what the future will bring.”

“Will everything I’m putting myself through be worth it?”

“What am I doing?”

“Am I making the right choice?”

But your moments will come. Trust that and let it bring you peace.

The alternative is feeling anxious, which is also completely acceptable and normal, but remember that you also have the option of trusting and feeling peace, too. There is room for both.

You’re not alone in this 🤍

It was a year ago that I decided to jump into the It was a year ago that I decided to jump into the deep, black ocean of IVF again. I knew what I was doing this time and I was filled with fear because…I knew.

When I found out I was pregnant, the fear was my secret. Only a close few knew.

And this space was filled with tears, uncertainty…soul reaching prayers.

Sleepless nights, gut wrenching heartache.

Secrets that I hold close to my heart.

And then he came.

And the healing began.

And the mama, this mama, knew she did it.

That black ocean had swallowed her whole and she’d do it again for the light that is him.

Once she swam to the surface, and jaggedly gasped in the fresh air and felt the sunshine on her face, she knew she would do it all over again.

For this sacred chaos.

Tonight as I was moving the bassinet out of my room, I stopped. The room will soon be cleared. The shelves emptied and the order restored. And I can’t believe that the ocean was conquered. The chaos was where I found the strength and the beauty.

The sacred, precious chaos.
