One of the biggest challenges of being the Mom of three athletes, is getting everyone fed - healthy, quick, and something they like.One of my favorite strategies is menu planning. Each Sunday night, I plan the menu for the week. I can make sure we get balanced meals, it saves on groceries, and keeps us away from too much fast food.

Another strategy I have used a lot lately is to make double of our favorite meals and then freeze the leftovers in single serving containers. Since I have one really picky eater, this comes in handy a lot.

Ragu has created a cookbook that is geared toward active families on the go. It is complete with recipes, shortcuts, and other time saving tips. Go to the Ragu website to get one for free.

Thanks to 5 Minutes for Mom for letting us know about this great freebie.
