Yes, I admit it. I used Hamburger Helper last night. I rushed home after a very, very busy day of work and errands. Greg had picked up 2 lbs of ground chuck, and I had less than 30 minutes to get something on the table before I headed off to my soccer game. So I browned the meat, added onions and cooked it, straight out of the box. Am I embarrassed? Yes! Did I enjoy it? Even worse, yes. Because I steamed broccoli on the side, and was able to sit down with my kids to a meal.
Yes, I would prefer to serve homemade meals from all organic ingredients every night, BUT I am learning it is more important to actually sit with them, and eat. We chat, laugh and share from our day. Wish the food was more nutritious and less packaged, but the organic broccoli had to count for something, right? It is all about balance.
