Food School: a 31 day course (day 10 a busy day)
Yesterday was a crazy day–we were in the car from 7:30 am until 6:30 pm–except for a 30 minute pit stop to pick up water bottles and soccer bags!
On our travels, I passed by countless fast food places tempting the kids with easy, fast food–but I had a plan. Having a plan is an absolute must if you intend to each healthy while on the road. I didn’t intend to be on the road THAT long but we managed. We had water bottles and talked about where we would stop for lunch.
We also talked about choice–we had several food choices available to us on our journey–I used this opportunity to let my kids decide. They chose the Japanese Food Court–curry udon noodles and sushi filled our table! We would have had the Lychee or Mango ice cream but the machine was broken–bummer.
By the time we were home at 6:30 I was exhausted. I served leftovers! Lotus Heirloom rice, onions, mushrooms, kale, red peppers and butter nut squash–served with carrot slivers and cucumber slices. The meal was Vegan but that was not my intention–it just happens that way a lot in our house.
Do you plan your meals? How can I help you with that?
If you do plan your meals–would you share your insights in the comments! When we work together we can create change!
Be Blessed.
