We're talking about grabbing whatever greens you have, a protein like chicken or tofu, tossing them with some cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and cheese. Drizzle it with olive oil and lemon, and you’ve got yourself a marvel.
Pro Tip: Keep a pre-mixed bag of salad, it's the shortcut to freshness without dirtying an extra dish. Trust me, less washing up time equals more naptime for you!

The Art of the Smoothie Secret
Enter the smoothie, your best ally in the battle against mommy-done-forget-to-eat syndrome. Blend together banana, a handful of spinach, yogurt, and any kind of berry that makes you think "superfood". Extra points if you juggle a baby and the blender simultaneously.
Speedy Suggestion: Pre-pack smoothie bags with fruits and veggies, then freeze them. Just dump and blend when the 4-day hair hasn't seen daylight and a nutritious meal feels like a folktale.
A Love Letter to Pasta (Because Sometimes Love Is Carbs)
Pasta, the unequivocal hero of the culinary world. Perfect as the foundation for a multitude of quick dishes—toss with olive oil, garlic, a hint of chili flakes, and a sprinkle of Parmesan for an instant mood-lift. For the more daring, tomato-based sauces can masquerade as gourmet with a dash of fresh basil or oregano.
Quickie Fix: Pre-cooked pasta keeps like a dream. Store it in the fridge for super-speedy steamy miracles when your baby suddenly decides it's "carry me forever" day.
