For me, it is extremely important for us to have a home cooked meal together every night. Because, it gives us the opportunity to catch up with each other and to spent quality time without too many interruptions. However, some days this is easier said than done. My family and I, spent lots of time together and I usually don’t travel or are too far away from them for too many days. However, when I do travel or are apart from them, I like to leave plenty of foods that can easily be cooked or pre-cooked meals that can be popped in the oven and be done in a matter of minutes. Some of my kiddos’ favorite dishes are macaroni & cheese with bacon, cheese-stuffed shells, spaghetti and meatballs or a simple ground turkey lasagna. YUM! 🙂
Mommy Approved Grocery Items From Gold Emblem Abound
#CVSBacktoSchool
Since, they love those meals, I take advantage of this and purchase plenty of boxed organic macaroni & cheese and leave pre-cooked lasagna and stuffed shell in the freezer. This way, all my husband has to do is boiled some water, cook the macaroni, and mix in the cheese, milk and bacon or pre-heat the oven and cook the meal the rest of the way. Easy, right? For the last few months now, we have started to purchase more organic and gluten-free products for our food preparation and although, you might be thinking that organic and gluten-free products might be outside your monthly food budget, you might want to re-think that!
Food shopping is usually reserved for grocery stores, but have you ever consider food shopping at your local drug store? For years, I have been taking advantage of CVS/Pharmacy wonderful offers on household and grocery items. With the addition of CVS/Pharmacy Gold Emblem Abound wide range of household and grocery products that are “better for you” with No artificial preservatives or flavors and 0 trans fat, my kiddos snacks for school and after school search has gotten a lot easier. But, CVS/Pharmacy doesn’t only offer snacks, they also offer organic and gluten-free, sodium-free and cholesterol-free grocery products.
Check out some of the products available in the grocery isle at my local store. If you have a CVS/Pharmacy near you, I invite you to check out the Gold Emblem Abound household and grocery products, specially the delicious organic macaroni and cheese.
