Make It Quick (and Easy) Sure, you’d like to make healthy meals for you and your family. But who has the time to cook from scratch anymore? What if you could find a way to eat healthy in the time you have available? Here are some tips to make healthy cooking easier: • Cook with a friend or neighbor. Share the work and the cost of ingredients. • Start at the grocery store. You can find pre-cut salad greens, pre-chopped veggies, and pre-cut fruits at most large grocery stores. • Prep before you store it. After you get back from shopping, don’t drop everything in the fridge and move on. Take the time to cut and chop your produce. The quicker you can whip up a dinner, the easier it will be to eat healthy. • Pile on the fruits & veggies. Think of different ways to work more veggies into your diet. Put spinach in your spaghetti sauce and tomatoes in your scrambled eggs. Green peppers are good in just about any dish. Add a salad to every meal. Work some fruit into your dessert. • Use your freezer. Divide food into meal-size portions to store in your freezer. This can work for quick and healthy to-go lunches as well. • Make your kitchen cook-friendly. Keep things you need within easy reach. Don’t be afraid to reorganize your kitchen around how you want to use it. The more you use something, the easier it should be to grab. You really can cook healthy without spending hours in the kitchen. And the more you do it, the easier it will seem. Who knows? You may find yourself looking for fun new recipes next! healthyroads
