[quote=Anonymous]I think you are doing pretty well, and nutrition and healthy eating are my passion. I will not compromise on a few things: local/farm fresh eggs from a source that is not a huge factory, grass fed/higher quality beef and chicken, and organic dairy and certain organic produce. Oh, and we don't eat out a lot or do fast food. But that's just me, you can not do some of these things and still be doing fine.

We do cook a lot, but we do use some of the shortcuts you mentioned (canned beans, shredded cheese) and I think that is fine. I'd love to make my own hummus and granola but it ain't gonna happen. I focus on loading up the house with healthy snacks/food to pack lunches and then cook maybe 2x a week, big meals that last at least two days. I like cooking on the weekends and then I try to do 1-2 meals during the week, though sometimes these are after kids are in bed and the dinner rush is over, and I can relax in the kitchen and prep something for the next night (crock pot is great for this).

I found there is just too much pressure to get home at 6 after a full day and attempt to cook a nice meal, so I work around that through using weekends, prepping the night before, etc. On nights when we don't have anything there are a few simple meals we turn too.
