Anyone can think of fast healthy meals that are quick to make or slowcooker meals? as i dont prepare boxed or processed food. Or make ahead meals that i can freeze? any ideas
Have them eat veggies with dip as soon as they get back and then that will give you time to get the main protien meal ready! You may just also need to do circle time after lunch just before nap! During you ususal cirlce time have them do free play as you prep lunch!
