Quick and Easy

Whether you’re cooking for two, ten or a WHOLE Army (ok, maybe not that many), you can get into the habit of cooking quick healthy recipes almost effortlessly.

You don’t want to be stuck having to spend your hard earned money eating out all the time, nor do you want to have to opt for boxed, bagged or frozen meals constantly.

So what are the alternatives? Who really has time to cook healthy food from scratch these days? YOU DO! With just a little planning and prep work before hand.

It’s Ready When You Are

Remember back in the old days when home cooked meals were the norm, not the exception? Those seriously delicious smells wafting from grandma’s oven?

Those days may be gone, but good healthy home cooked meals don’t have to be. But with so much to do, how do you plan for quick healthy recipes?

Your Slow Cooker, Your NEW Best Friend

Yep…you wanna become best buds with your slow cooker. Start by pre-soaking some dried beans that you like, or even a combination of them.

You can do this overnight, then in the morning, just drain and rinse them, toss them into the slow cooker with a little onion, some spices and even some meat if you want.

Put the lid on, set the cooker on “low” then go about your daily business and when you come home or are ready later for dinner your quick healthy recipe will be ready to serve.

There are a VAST variety of crock pot recipes out there. They are easy to find, and also you can adapt almost any recipe to cook in a slow cooker.

You can start your food and go…and all without having to heat up your kitchen in hot summer months. Even college students can prepare quick healthy recipes in their dorm room with a crockpot. (The perfect gift for someone going away to college)
