The Kitchen Mom by dhess

Maybe most of us parents now still wonder how our parents managed to raise us despite the challenges in life in the past, and becoming  a parent yourself, you also wonder on how you can make sure that you'll be up for the challenge to make sure your kids grow up ready for whatever the future brings. With a fast-paced lifestyle that requires us to be more efficient in balancing work-life responsibilities for us parents that can mostly leave us having lesser time for our kids. Not to mention the school environments being driven by technological shifts that young kids have to keep up with. All of these factors can lead to having a less physical activity or exercise, also compromising the quality of food being served to our kids due to the fast-paced lifestyle, making everything instant and resulting in kids facing issues like attention problems, learning deficiencies, social difficulty, and obesity.

Being a mom, we are used to waking up early and sleep late. Making sure that everything is in place and ready for the next day. It is the same with the meal that I prepare for my family. A one-dish meal that we can share during lunch or dinner time. When I say one dish meal, it means it's already packed with all the nutrients and vitamins that our body needs, especially for growing up kids. What's good about the one dish meals aside from it having a full meal in one, it is also not time-consuming. You can finish a simple dish in 15-30 minutes. As long as you have the right ingredients and seasoning in your kitchen, preparing a yummy and healthy dish will be easy. If I don't have much time to do grocery shopping, I usually check what's available in the fridge or in our food stock. Here is one of the recipes that I can share with you that you can also prepare for your family ************************** Healthy Meal: Pan-fried Tofu with Mixed G
