Pack Lunches Like a Pro

Save time and use up all the bits in your fridge by chopping extra veggies when you are making salads at dinner time. Divide the veggies into different containers or baggies, seal, and store in the fridge so that they are ready to pop into lunches over the next few days. Lunch prep done! 

If you have a minute you can also put some ranch dressing, tzatziki, or hummus in tiny containers as dip. Then in the morning, you just have to pop them into a lunchbox!

She may go by the name Scatteredmom online, but Karen really is anything but scattered when it comes to the kitchen.  Churning out tasty treats within view of the Georgia Strait on Canada's west coast, Karen will hand you an organized weekly meal plan or teach you how to make meals from scratch.  As Mom to a teenage boy, she knows exactly what it takes to keep kids full and happy-which has really come in handy with her job as the Food Editor at Yummy Mummy Club.

A strong supporter of Food Revolution who has been endorsed by Jamie Oliver himself, by day Karen can be found working as a special education teaching assistant, running a kitchen and showing teenagers how to cook nutritious meals for themselves.  By night, when she's not chatting on Twitter and answering cooking questions,  she writes her popular blog Notes From the Cookie Jar, or posting mouthwatering recipes over at Chasing Tomatoes.  Not afraid to give her opinion and passionate about community, Karen spoke at Blissdom Canada 2010 and her writing has been published in Canadian Living magazine, as well as in various online publications.
