As a busy mom you are juggling family, house chores, working, running errands, getting kids to their weekly activities and the list goes on and on with all the duties us mama’s play.
I was constantly stressed about cooking wholesome and healthy meals for my family that has the least number of processed ingredients in them. As mothers we want recipes that are packed full of vitamins and minerals and not foods that will cause heart disease, cancers, and diabetes. knew that if I was stressing about this there has to be other moms that are as well.
So, let’s jump into this week’s healthy, delicious, nutrient dense meal plan that is quick, efficient, and that you can make ahead and store in the freezer!

Where I shop
It is so important to watch what we put into our bodies. Our bodies are investments. When we feel good, we perform well. We are more successful and accmplish more when we perform well, happier when we feel good. We have less risk of cancer, diseases, and diabetes when we eat wholesome and clean foods!
Lately I have been getting all my groceries delivered from Kroger and Amazon. I know a lot of you on my Instagram page wanted more local grocery stores and though I love Walmart and Aldis, Kroger I am realizing has WAY more options for organic produce and the produce are 10000X’s better. Also, they deliver to my house, and you just cannot beat that.
Also, with being a stay-at-home mom, I really do not have time to do much research on ingredients. I was tired of going to the store, reading the nutrition label and seeing all the harmful ingredients that was in some of the sauces, canned items, and baking items. I wanted to make sure all my condiments, cereals, and baked goods were all clean and organic. That is when I discovered Thrive Market. Thrive Market is an online grocery store that delivers groceries right to your door in just a couple of days. If you are wanting 40% off your first order. Shop the link here!
Helpful Tips
- Adjust it accordingly to your family.
- For the whole garlic you will need a garlic press. If you would rather purchase minced garlic this is the one I like! Link Here.
- I try to get everything as organic as possible, however, if this financially too expensive for you that is ok. Groceries are CRAZY EXPENSIVE. Getting just whole foods in your diet is super important. Organic or not!
