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.

Slowly making my way through every vending machine Slowly making my way through every vending machine in Utah, selling out the crap you don’t want your kids to eat. “No” isn’t a sound that comes frequently out of my mouth these days when asked by my kids if those gummies are coming home with us. Anyone have change for a $5?

Happy Sunday! Tell me the most important things yo Happy Sunday! Tell me the most important things you focus on teaching your kids? 👇🏻

For me, it’s teaching them who they are which is children of God and where to find peace and direction.

The thing I need to work on teaching them more is how to clean up after themselves 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Give me your best tips! Tyler and I have started to say we will give away the items that they don’t clean up. If they aren’t responsible enough to take care of them, they aren’t responsible enough to own them.

Fun times in the Parcell house right now! 😂 #parcellsundayselfie 5/15/22

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the incredible, str Happy Mother’s Day to all of the incredible, strong, brave mamas who go through hell and back for their babies! I want to bow at your feet for ALL that you do and go through! 👑

This is the best pic I got with my 3 today 😂 Baby is the size of a 🍋 lemon, Harris swore that was his best smile, and Tyler’s finger just had to make itself known in the corner of the pic! Goldie was the most excited about this 😂👯‍♀️

I’m also thinking of those of you who are struggling to grow your families and those of you who have lost your mothers so this day brings up some sadness. ❤️❤️❤️ #parcellsundayselfie #mothersday2022 #mybabiesforever
Baby Parcell popped last week!! 13 weeks! Goldie i Baby Parcell popped last week!! 13 weeks! Goldie is in LOVE with her baby sister or brother and always talks to my belly first thing before she talks to me 😂 She’ll pat my belly gently and say, “hi, baby!” I’m excited to see her become a big sister and for Harris to be a big brother!

Also - CRAZY fact that always blows my mind🤯 the baby in my belly is technically the same age as the twins because the embryos were fertilized at the same time. This embryo was just frozen for 6 years. HOW?!! 😂 #ivfsuccess #goldie_says #frozenembryotransfer #13weekspregnant
Happy Sunday! What do you love to do on Sundays th Happy Sunday! What do you love to do on Sundays that you normally don’t do on other days? One of the things we have started doing after church is @comefollowmecolorclub with my kids! They learn about that week’s lesson (we are studying the Old Testament this year) as they learn to draw something. It’s so much fun for them and feels great for me as parent because they’re having fun while learning about the gospel of Jesus Christ. I got a code for you because I know many of you would be interested as well! Code JENICA gets you 50% off your first month or 20% off the year.

Now give me your good ideas! What makes the sabbath a delight for you? #parcellsundayselfie 5/1/22 #sundaybest #sundayblessings

I was in tears as he talked about this beautiful concept of loving as God loves, seeking another’s healing and expecting nothing in return. I’m so interested in studying this more! ❤️ #steveyoung #deseretbook #thelawoflove
