[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like healthy food shouldn’t take long to make so prepping is not necessary. [/quote]

OP here and that is the opposite of my experience? All that washing and chopping of produce takes a lot of time.

I only manage to do it every other weekend maybe, but as PP said, if I don’t, we eat crap. And I’m a fan of crap occasionally, but too much of it doesn’t feel good.

I made a batch of homemade granola with the kids that they’ve been eating with yogurt and berries for breakfast, plus did a batch of hard-boiled eggs.

Grilled chicken for dinner Saturday night, but doubled to have leftovers to add to salads for lunch all week.

Roasted a bunch of chickpeas, sweet potatoes, beets and broccoli, also to add to salads during the week.

It wasn’t a ton of work, but there’s no way I have time for this during the week, so it’s a lifesaver.[/quote]

This is brilliant, sounds delicious, and takes very little time -- they just grilled some extra chicken, tossed veggies with olive oil and seasoning and shoved them in the oven for 20 minutes, and made the granola, which takes like 10 minutes.  You don't have to plan every meal and prep/cook it in advance, but having some healthy, tasty food on hand makes life more pleasant and much less stressful.

Would you share your granola recipe? [/quote]
