Use what you Have :)

I hear a lot of people tell me I cant afford to eat healthy because I can't afford to go out and buy all new items. Well guess what you dont have to right away! Use what you have! Its really about portions and learning how much to consume!

No need to waste things around here!! Little changes make for longer lasting Lifestyle changes!! It is so hard for me to watch people so gung ho about changing everything in their cabinets, fridges and they go to the whole extreme of buying everything under the sun and then after a week or so they fall out and are back to square one! This is not a quick fix kind of thing!! This is not being on a diet all your life either!!

So for instance we just finished packing lunches! This is the night before Valentines day so we did all Heart style things!

What we used 2 Pieces of Daves Killer Bread - You can use whole wheat/multi grain a healthy tortilla
2 tbsp of almond butter
2 tsps of sugar free jelly
1 heart shaped cookie cutter
 WE put the two pieces of bread together cut out the heart shaped middle yummy soft part of the bread and put the pb and jelly on!
(We then packaged up in a baggie the remaining bread from the cutout and will save for breakfast)

For breakfast we will need:
1 pan
Pam spray
2 eggs
spice to liking
Remove bread from baggie heat up stove on medium heat spray pan and get pan warm
Place bread in pan and crack egg in middle of egg let cook to liking and sprinkle with favorite seasoning
Pair with a 1/2 cup of fresh fruit

Packed up snack size baggie of cut veggies
packed up snack size baggie of strawberries
1 low sugar go gurt
1 100 calorie pack crackers
1 Love Note!!

Use what you have ! Dont get discouraged! Let the kids help! The feel so independent wanting to do this! I know sometimes its nice to just get it done, but if we dont teach them how will they learn??  Have fun with it!!!
