My PASSION Magazine

Corner
with Melissa Jones
I like to think of myself as a “structured person.”
Some people may define my “structure” as being
bossy or controlling, but I CHOOSE to believe that
my way is just better, lol. I learned a long time
ago that raising three boys, two dogs, and training a
husband is not an easy task. In this day and age,
we’re all super busy. But getting a quick, easy, and
healthy meal on the table is easier than some might
think. Organization and prep is the key to your success!
To help me stay efficient and organized, I make
the grocery list out before I go to the store. I don’t
have the time to make 100 trips to the grocery store
throughout the week, so my family is trained to
think like this. If you don’t put your needs or wants
on “the list” before grocery day…then SNOOZE
YOU LOSE, buddy. So…the night before grocery
day, I look at our calendar to see what nights we
will be at home and eating together. I then write
down what our meal will be for those nights. Next,
I enter the ingredients needed for each meal into
my incredible grocery app. Lastly, I get the coupons
that I need if I have any, and I am ready to go!
