From Picky Palates to Wholesome Delights: Supermum Hillary’s Meal Prep Woes

For busy working mothers like Hillary who prepare meals for the family, it is quite a challenge to provide a rich variety of wholesome meals on a daily basis. Coming up with interesting dinner ideas every day, especially while caring for three small children, is not easy.

Being health-conscious, Hillary insists that home-cooked meals need to be varied, healthy, and balanced. That adds to one of her difficulties of cooking for three young boys which is catering to each of their tastes. The busy C-suite executive admitted, "I try my best, but it is impossible to keep everyone happy - and sometimes, that means having a cranky kid because it was not pasta night.”

Her three kids, Jayden, Jasper, and Javier, cannot differ more in terms of tastes. Jasper, who fancies himself as a future food critic, has a knack for all things sweet and dessert-like. Every meal is an opportunity for him to ask, "Where's the dessert, Mummy?" Meanwhile, noodle enthusiast Javier, who has a particular fondness for mee and spaghetti, tends to try his luck with, "Can we have noodles tonight, Mama?" On the other end of the palate range is Jayden, who favours bold and spicy cuisine.

It’s quite the conundrum for Hillary, who shared that one of her biggest challenges feeding the three of them is to find something for everyone. Hillary explained how Freshable has made her life simpler - by taking the guesswork out of meal planning, removing the headaches of grocery shopping, streamlining the cooking process, and providing her family with wholesome and delectable meals, Freshable has made a difference in her life and she’s quite the advocate for it.
