About Rachel
I find the organization of meal planning the most difficult. Sometimes i just cannot wrap my head around it
I guess for me, the biggest challenge is simply making it a priority. It all boils down to a sad lack of self-discipline. 😉
Doing it!
Even after all these years…still trying to get organized. I get so frustrated sometimes (at myself, ofcourse) that I must stop what I have started to plan/cook a meal. Planning ahead would eliminate this frustration.
choosing healthy recipes
The hardest part for me is finding recipes that are healthier than just eating instant meals. I am really picky so its hard for me to find stuff that sounds delicious AND is nutritious.
Time!!!
Making the shopping list…I seem to forget to add something to my list. 🙂
I like to make pot roast in the crock pot and the one thing I do not like about meal planning is that sometimes I do not like to eat on Thursday what I had “scheduled” on Sunday.
Love,
Janet
To keep my family healthy, we believe in a combination of regular chiropractic care (my husband is chiro wohoo!), healthy eating (as much as possible- cutting out the processed foods is my main goal), play/exercise time (more on the play time haha), and prayer! And I am definitely interested in learning more about essential oils to add to our family health game plan 🙂
I make my chicken broth in the crock pot.
I also have a macaroni and cheese recipe that my kids love.
Actually following through with the plan in the midst of unpredictable afternoon/evening needs.
remembering to check the schedule ahead of time to prep things before hand.
I keep hearing about this program. Thanks!
my new favorite is chocolate peanut butter lava cake. (Crock On! from Stacy Makes Cents…enter the give away or buy a copy it is well worth it!!)
This would be great for me because I’m in a dinner idea rut.
My favorite crockpot meal is chicken breasts with bbq and cranberry sauce,a few spices and some OJ.when done,it gets shredded for sandwiches,or served over rice, or a million other uses plus everone in the family loves it.
Time and coming up with something besides the same old things.
I love my crockpot! My favorite meal is roast with veggies since it comes out just right every time – but I use it nearly every day. Also makes lots of bone broth. 🙂
italian chicken
I like to make chicken soup.
Are you going to email the winners? Just curious if I won or not because I am Rachel V, but I am sure other people are too 🙂
