You don't h
to spend h
s in the kitchen to h
a nice sit-down family meal. Meals do not h
to be complicated to be healthy and worthy of family toget
ness and you certainly do not h
to "eat from a box" to make meals con
ient.
Microw
meals and o
-ready foods may be simple and t
y but most of them are filled with different types of preservatives, saturated fats, sodium and sugars. E
those
t are low in fat and sodium would h
been preserved with chemicals to prolong their shelf lives. While these are con
ient to use when you are in a time crunch, they are not the only ways to prepare a quick at-home meal y
family will love.
You can buy some products prepackaged. Lettuce, shredded cabbage, carrots and radishes all come in bags. T
e are varieties of salads you can buy in bags in the produce section of y
local grocery store. If you like ot
vegetables on y
salad, it does not take a lot of time to chop and add them. Canned vegetables and fruits to which salt and sugar h
not been added are easy ways of giving y
family the fruits and vegetables it needs. Frozen vegetables are not unhealthy, eit
, though if you want the best, you should buy y
veggies fresh and steam them rat
n boil them.
Healthy breads, cereals and p
as are all quick and simple ways to add complex carbohydrates to y
meals. Canned tuna and ground poultry meats make great substitutes for red meats in many different sauces. Turkey burgers
t are seasoned well make f
and scrumptious suppers. If you h
e
half an h
for meal preparation, these can be made along with a salad and some fresh fruit in less time
n you h
planned.
One-dish meals such as a pot ro
with potatoes and carrots are easy to make in the o
but will be e
easier and perhaps t
ier when made in a crock pot. Put the vegetables in the bottom of y
crock pot and place the ro
on top. Season, cover and let cook for several h
s. Put it toget
in the morning before leaving to work and when come home in the e
ing you h
a healthy and delicious dinner waiting for you. What could be simpler
n
t? Well, pot ro
is not y
only choice and t
e are ot
recipes
t are just as easy.
Make family meals easy and enjoy the time you h
toget
instead of eating on the run.
Easy family meals really can be healthy!
