Hi, I'm Kathy. One of my biggest passions in life is great food. But with such a busy life, I find it all too easy to cut corners and not really make time for the best for myself and my family.
Goodness knows with all the available fast food out there, the take out, the order in, my family all too often misses out on the really great food that can only come from good old fashioned home cooking.
Granted, these are no longer the days of stay at home moms who work their fingers to the bone and always have the perfect household. Nor do I think it's really necessary that we even consider returning to those times. But what if we could actually find a way to make great, healthy food for our families, and not wind up spending hours on end in preparation and cooking, not to mention the cleaning up after? Wouldn't that be great!
After all, what is a better way to tell your family "I love you" than to really look out for their health and well-being by giving them delicious, healthy food to eat?
One simple way to eat healthy is to simply add more veggies to your table.
If you're in a real rush, you can save time by buying pre-cut frozen vegetables at the grocery store. You can even get vegetable mixes. With recent advances in food technology and rapid freezing techniques, the quality of frozen vegetables and fruits has really improved. And they're guaranteed to have more of the good stuff than a lot of canned foods which have necessarily been cooked to extremely high temperatures for preservative measures.
How about this for a quick, 20 minute healthy dinner:
Two chicken tenders (skinless, boneless - which you can buy that way) per person (maybe less if you're cooking for youngsters). Sautee them in a pan until golden brown and cooked all the way through. Then squeeze a half a lemon over them.
One cup of mixed veggies (like broccoli, cauliflower, carrot mix) per person.
Put these in a microwaveable mixing bowl, pour in enough water to cover the bottom of the bowl about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Microwave for a minute or two until they are fork-tender.
Then choose a starch like rice (maybe even instant if you don't have the time to make fresh) or a light pasta salad using penne pasta (and try adding a dash of olive oil, a dash of "Italian mix" seasoning, and maybe a drop or two of balsamic vinegar).
And there you go. In less than 20 minutes you have a great, healthy meal!
