I'll take any recommendations you guys may have regarding companies that produce organic foods, meals, etc... Looking for suggestions on gluten free products, as well.
I understand it is best to simply prepare meals from scratch using organic whole foods, but with 2 kids and an insane schedule I have a tough time making time to prepare meals.
Thanks in advance.
Brandon I'll hit my wife up, you may want to ask her on her facebook page as well www.facebook.com/balancebynature
Rudi's is great, as is Udi's for bread. For a GF treat try Penguino's cupcakes. Coconut water is GF as is most Kombucha.
My wife can't eat corn, gluten, dairy or egg yolk so we have to be super careful. Eating clean is nearly impossible unless you make it yourself.

I have a really busy schedule and have a gluten intolerance so what I've found works best is making meals in advance and freezing them. On Sunday I'll make a large crackpot of chili or another soup then cook up some chicken or other proteins. I separate it into individual servings so I always have something to grab for lunch or dinner if I do not have the time to cook.
I really like Odwalla. I'm always on the go and they have really good smoothies and bars. kinda expensive but you get what you pay for.
This is a passionate subject for me, as I'm currently doing my 5 year degree in the dietitian / nutritionist field. If I would suggest 1 thing - It would be to Never buy any food / food brands you ever see advertised on TV / in commercials. Do the research on organic foods, call the company up and ask them everything you want to know regarding organic foods. Just because the box says "Organic" , or "Free Range" , or "Farm Grown" with a picture of a cow in a fresh field eating grass does not mean that's what it is/where it came from.
check out this short trailer, and watch the film! It's very imforative, and it's on netflix.

Chicken, lasagna, etc... and store in fridge or freezer until ready to bake(I own tons of casserole dishes so I can do this). If you want gluten free... whole foods is about the only place I know in Alabama to go. Though, being in Bama has its benefits because there are lots of farms where you can get grass fed beef and free range eggs and chicken.
The best resource on the subject I have is "The Healthy Gluten Free Life" by Tammy Credicott. Great recipes as well as 40 of great info on what to use and how to minimize time in the kitchen.
40 pages*
I work for Trader Joes if you have one in your area they have a list of gluten free products they can give you and it makes shopping for them so much easier.
I hate to admit it but anything by Fruits & Vegetables is pretty good. Super long shelf life and jam packed with certified organic genetically modified organisms
Living Lean & Living Lean Cook Book by Mike Dolce is amazing. If I am correct he said each meal comes out to under $5.00 a person and has gluten free options, vegan options http://thedolcediet.com/
Unfortunately no organic meals come to under $5.00
