How exactly do people find time to cook a healthy meal when fast food or take out is so much quicker?
The trick is to prepare ahead. Some people find it really helpful, cheaper, and more appetizing to cook ahead than to eat fast food all the time. For example, try grilling 4 or 5 chicken breasts (or enough for you and your family to have leftovers) Sunday night with some vegetables. On Monday you can use some of the chicken in a colorful and healthy salad. On Tuesday you could make chicken tortillas, since the chicken is already cooked is simply an assembly job. The final leftovers on Wednesday could go in a chicken stew. Or cook ahead and freeze individual portions. Vegetarian lasagna or chili make great “frozen entrees” that beat tv dinners! You can also utilize “convenience food” from the grocery store. Many salads, and other meal ingredients now come “pre-cut” and ready for use.
