You know it's because.....

I'm lazy.  I've already told you I'm pretty much a lazy mommy.  You shouldn't be surprised by now!

C'mon, I like to take as many shortcuts as I can when it comes to daily chores!  Somethings just beg to be done in 30 minutes or less!  Take meal prep for one thing...nah take it for three things!  3 meals a day!

Okay, I'll admit, I only "prepare" one meal a day....dinner meal.  Supper.  The last meal of the day.  The other meals are: Breakfast: grab what u want or wait for the weekend when momma has time to "prepare" something worthwhile.  Lunch: slap it on some bread & call it good or wait for Sunday dinner/lunch when momma pulls out the crock pot & has time to "prepare" a healthy spread!

Don't get me wrong.  I LOVE TO COOK!!  I just have 3 out of 5 very, VERY picky eaters.  They don't like anything "healfy" as they say (on a daily, 3x's daily basis).

I like to make things that are easy and some what healthy & tasty.  If they don't eat it, well they know how to spread p.butter on some w.w. bread & call it done!

It's so bad with the oldest girly that this year I told her if she would sit down at the dinner table, not say anything negative about the food in front of her, not whine or complain & would try new things....brace yourself mommas.....I would pay her a quarter for each new food!  A quarter!!

Do you know how much money she could make in one day!!  ONE DAY...seeing as most foods that I make she has never tried or tasted!! (I kid you not).

There is one catch to this tho'.  You know the above mentioned p.butter & bread.  Well, more often than not if the girly makes toast or sandwich for her dinner she leaves the mess all over the counter!  So, I told her that if she tried new foods= .25  If I had to clean up her messes= .25!!!  Ha!  Momma can get the new ZhuZhu pet she wants too!

Tally today......girly Lauryn = .25  mommy's total = .25  Even stevens!

Here's some pics that I took @ lunch the other day when I fixed soup & sandwiches for GP & myself.  Food for thought, easy & delicious.  My kind of meal!

Browned the onion in olive oil, poured in the boxed soup & canned tomatoes.  Seasoned w/ pepper & garlic salt.  Forgot the Italian seasoning, which is really yummy in this soup!

Finished lunch!!  Sandwich is rotisserie chicken w/ Miracle Whip, garlic lovers Hummus, mustard, provolone & fresh spinach.  Delish!!

Prep time for this meal 15 minutes!

What are some quick, easy & somewhat healthy meals that you fix for your family, when you are going crazy with busyness & don't want to set the house on fire forgetting what you had on the stove?
