   Hi Melanie,
   Yes, it is very difficult to get a family to switch their eating habits. Here are two quick tips and there are tons of others:
   *Buy easy foods, like canned tuna, plain fat-free yogurt, or ready-made hummus.
   *Prepare chopped vegetables once a week and keep them in the fridge.
   *On the fridge, keep a list of the Foods to Enjoy and/or Avoid

   First, it’s a matter of priority. Once it truly becomes important to you, it will be easy to find the time.

   The above post suggests cooking a big batch of vegetables. Great idea. We cook up a MIX of vegetables to keep on hand; i.e. mushrooms, onions, peppers, zucchini, green beans (or broccoli). You can add a can of cream or cheddar soup. Then you can add to salads, eggs, soups, or you can use as a side dish or as a potato topping.

   We make Sunday our cooking day. We try to cook up a BIG batch of chili, spaghetti, roast, chicken, etc. That should keep you going for several days. Later you can use the cooked meat for salads, tacos, casseroles. We use our Crockpot and chicken roaster often. You can put any frozen meat in the Crockpot and cook it all day on low while you are at work. You need add nothing but the meat, but you can also add a cream soup, green chilies, onion, garlic and/or diced tomatoes if you like.

   If you do not already own a Crockpot, buy one with a timer and a warming cycle. If you do not already own a chicken roaster, buy a space-saver model. If it’s too large, you’ll never bother with it.

   Change your thoughts. Change your life. It really is easy. You can do it!
