Let's face it — as moms, sometimes you just need something quick and easy that will guarantee little smiles. In these cases, don't stray away from the canned goods. Lentils or hearty, low-sodium soups are a great investment, and the organic mac and cheese options are easy lifesavers (toss in a little boiled sweet potato too for some extra nutrition).
But you don't have to spend a fortune. You can put beans over pasta, and that's a whole meal right there that can come from a box and a can. This aisle is your insurance aisle, so plan ahead and use it well.
