FINDING TIME TO COOK HEALTHY FOOD IN BUSY LIVES
Speedy Foodie
All these recipes have been kids tested and approved. (I have two boys, 13 and 7, as of 2025.) And I try to not showcase, or show off, complicated and time-consuming projects. Life is busy, I want myself to be enjoying the process while making delicious, healthy foods for kids and family, and I want you to be able to do the same without committing hours each time for a project. Every time can be a therapeutic journey, and the final product has to be something finger-licking good.

About this series:
What it tries to do:
- Make kids approved, healthy meals or snacks
- Find time for something delicious for the stomach and the mind (therapeutic kitchen experience)
What it tries to not do:
- Spend too much time (>1 hour or much longer) preparing for a meal
- Create something too fancy or complicated in terms of ingredients or culinary expertise
- Be precise like a scientist with every measurement of ingredients (there will be times we use "a few pinches" of salt or "a few spoons" of honey or something like that, but we refrain from being too nailed down with measurements)
