[quote=Anonymous]I spend 4-6 hours one day a week and do meal prep for the entire week. I make ahead and freeze most things, which makes it easy to reheat during the week. Making your own chicken nuggets are crazy easy (Whole Foods has chicken tender cuts, dip in flour, egg, then the breading, I use panko crumbs with some seasoning, then bake), if you don't want to make your own pasta there's a vendor at the Falls Church farmers market from Richmond and they make their own fresh pasta. It's amazing! I forgot the name, stars with a "C". It's frozen, so just buy a bunch, leave in the freezer until you need it, then defrost. They have pastas and gnocci.

I've made my own "goldfish" crackers as well (they were little circles) - a tad time consuming, but on just more than homemade sugar cookies. They are great b/c you can make a huge batch and they seem to freeze decently as well.

Cereal I have no substitute, but we prefer pancakes/waffles (which you can premake and freeze, then heat up in the oven/microwave/toaster).

If you're willing to put in the time there's no reason you need to eat processed foods, at least when you have control over the food (at your home)! [/quote]
