Are you looking for healthy recipes on a budget that are realistic and that work – so you can finally lose weight, stop cravings, get healthy AND stay within your budget?

Well if you are sick and tired of:

• Not knowing what to eat for breakfast
• Boring lunches that leave you craving more
• The high price of organic or “healthy” foods
• Lengthy recipes that look like an essay paper with foreign sounding ingredients
• Running out of dinner ideas
• Having to cook “your” meals and separate meals for your family
• Depriving yourself of dessert
• Being utterly confused about what you SHOULD and SHOULD NOT eat

Well, I can say I had the same struggle.  I can remember when my life changed drastically and I was eating fast food, packaged foods or worse yet……no food. 

After 5 years of marriage and being a stay at home mother I found myself as a single mother working full time and a part time job.  Long story short, life changed and I learned MANY lessons – about time, coping, planning, focus and life.

What was more ironic was I worked as a Wellness Coach at a local YMCA and preached healthy eating but was finding that I was having a hard time practicing what I preached.

I had little time to prepare healthy meals and limited funds to purchase healthy, whole foods.  And time to work out??  Ha!!! There was little of that too.  In the past I had 2 hour leisurely workouts…..now I barely had 30 minutes.  You can read more about my 20-40 minutes workouts under Frugal Fitness…..but for now let’s stick to nutrition.

So I knew what to eat and how to work out – but I didn’t have the time and didn’t always have the money to make it happen.

But I couldn’t talk the talk……and not walk the walk.

I couldn’t preach but not actually practice it.

Budget Possible?

ABSOLUTELY……..

YOU CAN PLAN TO FAIL.

After being challenged with LIFE and realizing that I can no longer “wing it” I had to make a plan.  Take it from me…..this is KEY to success.  Don’t allow yourself to be caught off guard when it comes to your nutrition.

So take a look throughout Healthy Recipes on a Budget and you’ll find meals made with things like this…..
