Quick and Healthy Meals at HomeFebruary 26, 2009

Grabbing a meal on the run or popping frozen meals into the microwave may seem like a time saver, but fast, healthy meals can be prepared at home too.

The key is planning. For breakfast, stock up on whole-wheat English muffins, whole-grain cereals, breads, peanut butter, low fat cheeses and yogurt. Make sandwiches with peanut butter or cheese or mix cereal and yogurt together for a meal in a bowl.

Similar combinations work for lunch and dinner. Whether it’s pasta and chicken with ready-made sauce or a frozen pizza topped with vegetables, fast and healthy can go together. Cooking on the weekends will help to save food “prep” time during the week. Prepared foods like grated cheese, skinless chicken strips and prewashed salad greens are real time savers.
