[quote=Anonymous]It's a myth that you save time by making lunches once a week. Let's say you spend 30 minutes on Sunday making whatever pot of food you plan to send for the week. If said food is still going to taste good on Friday, it is probably heavily salted and seasoned and doesn't have fresh fruits and veggies in it. In which case, you're still spending time separately prepping fruits and veggies. In any event, you still have 3 minutes of work to do each morning assembling it all. Or you could just spend 5 minutes each morning making a simpler, more "raw" style lunch (like OP's original lunch - with loose nuts and veggies) that don't involve much prep work. It's far more efficient to do the latter. This concept of "hey working moms, spend 30 minutes on sunday cooking kids' lunches" is another martyrdom foisted on busy moms, but it doesn't make your lives any better. Working women who are genuinely organized and multi-tasking (and busy) wouldn't waste their sunday doing this. [/quote]
