“But, I don't have time to feed my family REAL food.” That’s what we used to think too - until we understood the REAL cost of not budgeting our time and money for REAL food - our child's health! The One Easy System is our way of serving up REAL food REAL fast! Follow these three steps to feed your family REAL food everyday. (No matter how busy you are!) Food is your child’s fuel. It’s what cells are built on and consequently organs. Scientists tell us that what our children eat today will not only affect their health, but also their children’s (aka your grandchildren’s) health. Feeding your family food as close to its natural state as possible comes from a conscious decision to prioritize your family’s health. It does not have to cost a lot more, but it does take time to plan, shop and prep food each week.
Step One: Plan out meals and snacks for the week that are based on REAL food.
REAL food is local, organic and as nature intended: fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and sprouted whole grains. REAL food includes meat and poultry from grass-fed animals, wild fish, free range eggs from grass-fed chickens, raw dairy from grass-fed cows, goats and sheep. With a little planning, you can increase the amount of REAL food your child eats everyday.Visit our recipe section and

Step Two:
Shop from your planned list. Watch how easy shopping becomes once you shop from a list that actually creates planned meals and snacks. You avoid picking up non-essentials (often fake foods) and you save time, energy, and money by only going to the store once (maybe twice) a week. Download your

Step Three:
Prep food for the week. Ever wonder how chefs get food out to dozens of tables within minutes? They have prep boxes ready to go. Once you unpack your week’s worth of groceries, start prepping what you can for the week. Chop carrots, celery, and peppers so your family can snack on healthy vegetables, rather than grabbing chips. Chop onions, potatoes, or any other food that may be used in a meal later that week. Brown some ground beef for tacos. Bake a double batch of homemade cookies. Make a few dozen pancakes and freeze half for the following week. Blend up yogurt smoothies to freeze for Popsicles. Bake two quiches and freeze one. You get the idea. If we budget our time using the One Easy System we can feed our kids REAL food REAL fast!
