Who else is on the routine struggle bus? 42% of the US labor force is now working from home full time. Gyms are closed and comfort food searches on Google are on the rise. The “Quarantine 15” is real.
We long for the days when prepping and packing healthy lunches for ourselves and the kids was part of the weekly routine. Instead, we’re all at home. And, let’s be real, sometimes it’s easier to reach for a high-carb snack, make the higher-calorie casserole and give the kids all the ice cream they want.
We’re highlighting some of our favorite, quick meals for you and the kids. And, because they’re made using our crusts and flatbreads they’re lower in carbs and calories. They also have more protein than other bread-alternatives… that means your full longer. Have some other WFH tips? Comment below or send us an email (hello@califlourfoods.com).
