Easy Tips for Eating Well

Avoiding Cooking Things From Scratch

While there is a big push on home-cooked meals, if you don't have the time you can focus on what is called "half-scratch" cooking. This means you can either buy something that's already been prepared and "doctor" it up by adding in more veggies or serving it over a bed of greens. Here I took some prepared Ramen Noodles and simple added in some fresh veggies for quick and healthy meal!

Use a Crock-Pot or Pressure Cooker

I absolutely love my Crock-Pot and Pressure Cooker. Both of these items, help minimize the time needed to make healthy, home cooked meals! it is so convenient to add chopped veggies, meat and sauce to a Crock-Pot and let it slow cook all day. Nothing is better than having a meal fully prepared and ready to eat after a long day at work!

On mornings that are hectic, I don't always have time to get everything ready for the Crock-Pot. This is when I utilized my pressure cooker! I can prepare a meal that tastes like it has been cooking all day, but can be done in less than an hour. One of my favorite things about using the pressure cooker is that meat always turns out so tender and juicy in it! This Pressure Cooker Chicken recipe is a particularly quick and nutritious meal and a family favorite!

Learn to Batch Cook

Nobody likes to give up their Saturday to prepare meals, but batch cooking is something that you can do once a month without it really taking over your life. Taking the opportunity to find the best meals you can batch cook and spend a morning preparing these meals, portioning them up, and freezing them, means that you can easily take a meal out to defrost the night before and you have an easy lunch or evening meal.

Make healthy snacks like these Healthy No-Bake Peanut Butter Crunch Balls to enjoy. They are small nutrient dense portions that will fill you up. You can also take advantage of appetizers like a plate of smoked salmon bites that may help rejuvenate your skin due to the healthy fats and oils this food contains. Other appetizers, especially those containing dough, have been known to help treat acne problems. You can also stimulate your tastes bud by consuming an appetizer like a plate of cranberry brie bites before meals.

If you are one of those people, like me, that is very busy in the morning, you may be tempted to skip breakfast. However, the chemical reactions of the acids produced when your stomach is empty can create digestive health issues such as bloating, constipation, and nausea. preparing. So, I like to prepare a healthy breakfast like this Vegan Blueberry Chia Puddingthe night before as it can be a real time saver!
