Balanced family meals – don’t give yourself too much of a hard time!
When it comes down to it I think it’s fair to say that the majority of working parents find cooking a healthy and balanced meal for the children just one added stress, and guilt, to add to the list. Whilst we all talk the talk there is always the lingering doubt that beans on toast again for dinner isn’t so good. But it’s a hard balance to strike with only so many hours in the day. Mexican food
One recent article suggested that we should treat it a lot like a diet – don’t give yourself too many boundaries as it’s really all about give and take. Some days will be good, some not so good so don’t sweat the small stuff. Now I quite like the sound of that and that’s how we tend to work as a family.
During the week, the more frantic and rushed working days for us, it’s all about re-heating some lasagne that was made at the weekend or having some fresh pasta that’s super quick to boil. But the weekend? Well, the weekends are about having fun. The weekends are about the occasional take away treat. My kids favourite at the moment is a Mexican food order takeaway online – and, why not?! Mexican food
Not all convenience food is ‘bad’ and a Mexican at least offers fresh meat, salads and healthy sides so it’s a good choice. Go on, give your kids a treat and try a Mexican food online ordering experience this weekend.
