There
are those that like to cook and prepare meals. Then there are others
that really do not care to cook. For those that do not care to cook
or possibly feel you do not have the time to cook here are a few
ideas that might be worth considering.
Quick Healthy Meals |
1.
Soups
Soups
can be thrown together. When I say thrown together, you basically
just add the ingredients and let your crock-pot do the rest. My
crock-pot has become a great friend of mine. For example vegetable
soup can include as little or as much of carrots, celery, onions,
potatoes, corn, and you can add meat such as chicken and or noodles
and let simmer. Or you might want to try cooking your pot roast in
the crock-pot. I love making my chili in the crock-pot. I do this
often during winter. This is an instant meal that is nutritional
and quick. There is no slaving over a hot stove. How great is that?
2.
Two meals
There
are those that sometimes cook 2 meals at a time. I certainly have
done it. This way you will have a meal for today and for tomorrow.
You might even want to consider cooking a week's worth of meals and
freezing them.
3.
Pot Pies
You
might want to consider buying Pot Pies in the store. I have bought
them at Kroger for as low as $.84-.89 cents. These can be put in the
oven and are done in about 30 minutes. You might prefer the
microwaveable ones which take even less time. I prefer mine in the
oven, because I love the brown crust.
4.
Baked Potatoes
There
is so much that you can do with a bake potato. This potato can be
baked in the oven or microwave. Once baked slit the potato at the
top and add your desired topping. Possible toppings could be grated
cheese, broccoli and cauliflower, or hamburger topping. The toppings
that could be added are endless.
5.
Stir-fry
You
can buy the stir-fry mix and add the meat of your choice such as
chicken. Also, you can buy shrimp stir-fry; it has everything
already in it including the shrimp. How easy is that.
6.
Tunafish or Salmon Salad
Both
Salmon and Tunafish are high in protein. These are very nutritional
loaded with vitamins. Basically just drain the fish and add
celery, dry mustard, relish, and mayonnaise. Also, some like to add
boiled eggs cut up. These are just a few tips for you. Let me know how you like them.

Great ideas, Betty. I have beef stew simmering in the crockpot as I type this. But, I admit, now that my kids are grown, and unless I know they will be visiting or others, I don't cook as much as I used to. Funny you mentioned pot pies. I love pot pies and buy them at the grocery too. The funny part is growing up with 2 sisters, as we got older with a mom who worked more than full time, we took turns helping with diner. Guess what we always had on my nights? Pot pies! Your neighbor this week at #TuneInThursday
