Early in the week, take a few quick minutes and slice up a some veggies.
Get off the couch and chop during a commercial break, if you must! Whatever it takes, just do it. Whack up a few carrot and celery sticks, or bell peppers, or cucumbers. Or go a little crazy, and try jicama! It may appear foreboding on the outside, but once it's peeled and chopped, you'll pleasantly enjoy its cucumber/applelike appeal.
Float your fresh veggies in a bowl of water so they'll stay crisp and handy. Place them in the fridge where your hungry family - on the prowl for food - will notice them right away. Set out the bowl (with a scoop of peanut butter or ranch dressing for dipping) for your child's after-school snack. Or throw a few in a little bag when you pack school lunches for the next couple of days. On hectic, bleary-eyed mornings, you'll be glad the work is already done!
