Quick Meal Recipes Can Improve Health

By Dorothy Scott


In this day, people want to see their money go as far as possible. One thing that is often considered a waste is eating out every day, as it costs to travel, leave a tip, and sometimes eat more food than necessary. People who want to do better by their health and wallet should consider trying quick meal recipes.

Many think that any type of cooking at the end of the day is like taking on another job. In some cases, it feels like work when a person does not plan ahead or keeps certain staples in their kitchen. The preparation part is tiresome after a long day but there are shortcuts around this. When a person chooses how to make meals in less time, they will find that doing this daily is possible.

Cooking at home does not have to be a chore but can take less time than eating out and more nutritious. Instead of making special requests with the chef, a person who takes charge in their own kitchen and save themselves the hassle. People looking to trim down will find that homemade meals are better than skipping meals or other drastic changes.

Popular dishes like pizza can be made a number of ways that are not only faster than delivery but cut excess calories. Wheat flatbread may be substituted for a traditional white flour crust. Pizzas are good without cheese or contain extra vegetables or flavors that have high nutritional value, like garlic. Turkey or vegetarian alternatives are better choices than processed meats made with pork.

Any ingredients that are left over may be used to top pasta, rice or another type of grain that cooks quickly. Pizzas can also be frozen for future use and is more economical than having it delivered. Remember, it takes time to place an order and longer to cook the food with hopes that it will be made as requested.

This takes more initiative than effort for some people. Meaning a person knows there are alternatives to eating at a restaurant or making more than one weekly trip to a fast food place. It is just a matter of making it a regular routine. Then there are those who require meal planning because they may have needs such as more vegetables and grains, or less processed meat, salt, or sugar in their food.

People who would do the cooking may have concerns, such as having too much food around that may go bad. The best approach is to have a storage system in place. Items that are not going to be eaten in a day or two should be placed in the freezer for a few weeks. This includes ingredients that can be added to an entree, as it will save on preparation time when it comes time to cook.

It also helps to keep dry staples like beans, potatoes, and pasta near because these are real time savers. These can be combined with seasoned entrees that only require heating or are already chopped. Many stores also sell dry herb blends and seasonings that are measured for most traditional recipes. When a person puts their mind to it, they can come up with many wonderful creations not found at any restaurant.
