Veggie Tales

Vegetable prep is labor intensive for a busy mother of three little people. Lame, but true. I find that I am much more likely to eat veggies if someone else has prepared them for me. And since I don't currently have a personal chef, in an effort to eat more veggies I've started pre-making salads and stowing them in the fridge. Now those empty take-out food containers have been put to good use! This is just the first week I've tried it, but so far it's going well. I can take a salad out, quickly add some kind of protein and a little dressing, and viola'! It's a whole meal & I'm getting lots of healthy things too. Win -win.
