You all know I’m no Martha Stewart or Top Chef Contestant (and working mother) like Ariane Duarte, for that matter either. I also don’t have a lot of time to spare in the evening to make dinner or hurt my head coming up with lunch ideas for C and I. We are cool we brown bag our lunches every day, or C calls it his ‘lunch pail’. Yes people we still live in the times with horse and wagons.
Ivillage has these videos by Momtorage.com that go through the steps to make easy and affordable dinners. The videos are short and to the point. They make cooking and baking look easy. It makes me excited to want to try some of their ideas, including Jazz up the brown bag. Alright, if you watch it, you will see it’s focused on kids’ school lunches, but you know what? I’m not ashamed to say that the banana with cinnamon roasted apples didn’t make my mouth water. I’m also not ashamed to tell you that I have plain old PB&J for lunch on days when I’m in a hurry.
And what about those summer BBQ’s we are all attending? I have a picnic for Tae Kwon Do in a couple weeks and after watching the video for the Summer Fruit Shortcake I’m definitely bringing that. The video is only about 3 minutes long and the shortcake recipe is LIGHT. Yes light. It uses egg whites and low fat vanilla yogurt. Seriously, I dare you to watch that and not get a least a little bit of drool on your keyboard. Mmmmmm. And it’s homemade for under $30. Can’t beat that. You Can See More Life Made Easy Videos Here
