Food Journals: Green Bean Salad with Feta & Tomatoes
Our family’s journey to tasty, healthy but realistic time for preparing meals!
As working parents, many of us struggle with coming up with healthy, easy-to-make meals that both kids and adults will eat. I find that I often fall into the rut of eating the same monotonous meals over and over. In an effort to find a better balance and have the whole family participate we are starting Food Journals! It is a great way to get the kids involved and try new things. Our first recipe turned out great. We are grading it based on taste and ease of preparation which is essential on a busy weeknight!
