Meal Planning Monday: My Weekly "Prep Day"

Posted by Meagan Visser | Aug 1, 2016 | Meal Planning, NOURISH, Uncategorized |

If you’ve been following my Monday Meal Planning series for long, you’ll know that this whole meal planning process doesn’t come easy for me. I’m constantly learning how to do things to make getting healthy dinners on the table easier. One of the things I struggle with most (besides breakfast) is having certain foods prepared ahead of time. It never fails that the chicken isn’t thawed for dinner or that the beans are still sitting in the pantry dry or there’s no homemade yogurt in the house. Ugh! So what can I do but run to the store for...

Meal Planning Monday: The Never-Ending Search For Healthy Kids Snacks

Posted by Meagan Visser | Apr 4, 2016 | Meal Planning, NOURISH, Uncategorized |

Kids, for some reason, need snacks. Lots of them. If you try to find healthy kids snacks for your little ones you either end up spending a lot of money buying them at the store or a lot of time making them at home. For most parents, there needs to be a happy medium. Either healthy store-bought snacks that don’t cost a fortune or easy-to-make homemade snacks that don’t take a ton of time. With four little guys in the house that are growing like weeds and seem to be hungry all. the. time., it’s all I can do to...

Meal Planning Monday: My Battle For A Healthy Breakfast

Posted by Meagan Visser | Mar 7, 2016 | Meal Planning, NOURISH, Uncategorized |

Preparing healthy breakfasts for my family may be the hardest part of sticking to my meal plan and eating a nutritious diet. Nutritionists recommend that you eat something within 30 minutes of waking up. For my kids, this isn’t a problem. For me and my husband, it is. You’ve heard the TV jingle, “The best part of waking up, is Folgers in your cup.” Well, for me, that’s true. I’m one of those people who want my coffee first thing in the morning. Unfortunately, though, once I’ve drunk my coffee, I’m not longer hungry… until 10 o’clock rolls around....

Meal Planning Monday: Cleaning Out & Organizing My Recipe Binder

Posted by Meagan Visser | Feb 1, 2016 | Meal Planning, NOURISH, Uncategorized |

Do you have a recipe binder… or a drawer… or box? You know, a place where you keep all of your recipes together? Do you ever go through it? I mean, really go through it and make the recipes you have? Or throw some away? Probably not. Am I right? I know I don’t. I have a recipe binder where I store printed recipes that I’ve tried (or want to try), and over the years, it’s become a complete disaster which hasn’t helped when time to meal plan comes. Speaking of meal planning… last month I shared how meal...

Monday Meal Planning: Why I’m Trying Out A New Real Food Meal Plan Subscription

Posted by Meagan Visser | Jan 4, 2016 | Meal Planning, NOURISH, Uncategorized |

Meal planning is a struggle for me. Plain and simple. I’ve never really liked it, and it doesn’t come naturally to me. However, I have seen serious value in doing it. Not only do I know what’s for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but it helps us to save money by eating at home more often and wasting less food. I suppose the real struggle I have with meal planning comes down to finding the time to do it. I’m talking about sitting down with a blank calendar, cookbooks (or online recipes), a grocery list… all of it, and planning...
