“I’m way too busy to cook. Personal Trainer Food was the perfect solution for my family’s health — and our budget.” ~Erika Smith<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From baseball practice to hockey games, and all the way back across town for drum lessons\u2014I am a very busy mom of three boys. Like so many other moms during the after school or weekend shuffle, what to cook for dinner is usually the last thing on my mind.<\/p>\n

I have always been a very health-conscious person. When my kids were little we hardly ever ate out. I always prepared meals at home. However, as my kids got older and they got more involved in sports and other activities, I\u2019m embarrassed to say that I found myself pulling into the nearest fast food restaurant on more than one occasion.<\/p>\n

Just a few months ago after a very long week of sports in various locations \u2014my husband approached me with a very concerned look on his face. \u201cHow many times have you gone through McDonald’s drive thru this week?\u201d he asked me. I stopped to think back and smiled, pleased in my response, \u201conly two times,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n

Then he asked me about the four other fast food restaurants I drove thru<\/i> and it hit me\u2014I had actually fed my family from the drive-thru 6 times! A total of four dinners and two lunches that week, costing us around $96 — all of it unhealthy fast food.<\/p>\n

After our conversation I continued to eat out for a few weeks, but the guilt got the best of me and I knew it was time for a change. The change needed to include easy meals that I could make at home as I was in a hurry racing out the door, or once we got home a little later in the evening when cooking a big meal was no longer an option. Most importantly, I was looking for healthy meals that my kids would actually want to eat. I work at Personal Trainer Food so I ordered the items our family would like best and headed home.<\/p>\n

Once I unloaded the food in the freezer, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Finally! Meals I could make for my entire family in three minutes or less. Not only was it easy to make, but it was healthy food my kids couldn\u2019t get enough of. That\u2019s how \u201cno-cook suppers\u201d made their way into the Smith house. The kids devour the gluten free chicken strips and my husband is frequently caught heating up yet another teriyaki chicken or sesame ginger chicken.<\/p>\n
