Even though D and I are empty-nesters, I still remember a time when this last week of summer holidays was so stressful. Not only were we running around purchasing jeans, sneakers and ballet tights, but I was dreading lunch making, let alone nutritious dinners. I would have loved a guide like the one the Wal-Mart has put out. The link is here.

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of shopping, prepping and food styling for Katie the editor of Living Well magazine and the spokesperson for Wal-Mart when she touched-down in Winnipeg for appearances at both Global and CTV.

In both of these cases lunch and dinner can be prepped at the same time: deconstructed nachos & baked enchiladas and bacon salad & bacon & tomato wraps.

With the third recipe you get three meals-Hawaiian pizza, lunch kebabs and pineapple & granola yoghurt. There are even more recipes at the link above.

I truly wish that time did not march by so quickly. Next week the Wee One starts nursery school!
