Hey Guys,
As a mom, there are certain items that I make sure I have in the house at all times. Not only are these items consumed regularly, but they are healthy and if need be, they can be crucial elements in creating a meal.
Milk
Ever single person in my house loves milk, we cant get enough of it. We can easily go through a bag a day. With a toddler in the house, this is an essential. Kayden drinks 2-3 cups a day of milk.
Yogurt
Yogurt is mostly consumed by Kayden and I. My boyfriend will go through phases of when he loves yogurt, but Kayden and I are the most consistent. I always have toddler yogurt in the house for him, either the cups/tubes. Kayden has yogurt every afternoon, which ties him over till dinner. I mostly love plain yogurt, but I will occasuioanlly have fruit yogurt. I am indian, so yogurt is a staple in our diet. My mom does make a lot of homemade yogurt, so she will always give me some.
Cheese
I can't even begin to explain to all of you how cheese can complete a meal. Kayden can eat cheese by itself, but we also use it in a lot of dishes. We use it with eggs, shepherd's pie, pasta, burrito's etc. Honestly this is sometimes how we can get Kayden to eat some of his vegetables, we sprinkle some grated cheese on top and it melts and it is delicios. Cheese is something we buy weekly.
Fruit
Summertime is when fruit is in high demand. We love strawberries, melons and bananas. kayden has fruit in the afternoons as well, if he is extra hungry that day. Ialso love making fruit salads, and summertime is a great time for that. Fall/wintertime, in all honesty , we just eat banana's since we don't care for the fruit that is in season at that time fo year. We also make smoothies, which is a great way for us to get in our fruit.
Frozen vegetables
We switched over to frozen vegetables after hearing on The Chew, that they have the same nutritional value as fresh vegetables. Also we would spend tons of money on vegetables every week and it wouldn't even last us the whole week. We go to costco and buy a big bag of vegetables and it lasts us a month and we pay less then we would pay weekly. It is so easy to put it in the steamer as a side, or add it to a stir fry. It is such a time saver as well and it is less prep work.
